NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – On Fridays, chances are that if you put in a 40-hour workweek, you feel pretty exhausted. So, how does a 32-hour workweek sound? There’s new legislation in Congress to do just that.
The 40-hour workweek was put in place when Franklin D. Roosevelt was president. A lot has changed with our economy in the past 80-plus years, but the 40-hour week has stayed the same.
