- The 40-hour workweek was established in 1940.
The economy has changed a little bit since then.
In my view, the financial gains from new technology and increased productivity must go to workers, not just to the people on top.
I worked 40 plus My entire life and it IS No life .
Then you chose the wrong profession.
@@carrerau7138 yeah and I'm the Only one ?

I agree when work becomes increasingly boring and routine. It might be time for a job switch then. But this luxury is something not everyone can afford.
@@carrerau7138 yep I should've know that People didn't want Bridges , Buildings and Heavy machinery . 🤯
If it wasn’t for unions, we’d still be working 80hrs a week, kids would still be mining. Normalize worker co-ops and unions. SⒶve🗳️💙and expand our☭ democracy.🛠️🧰🪛
You’re 100% right.
so, a conservative utopia?
@@ThatOpalGuy his comment is very left wing.
:) Also: Human labour would be dirt cheap, so there'd be less incentive for technological advances... Remember how the South painted themselves into a corner economically because of slavery?!
Yeps, and the whole country would be far weaker for it. Capitalism is a cult.
We are so behind the times in everything that really counts. The whole world is laughing. Greedy capitalism is NOT funny.
Neither is working for a living.
We changed the tax code for the corporations in the 80s to see if they would improve working standards. They failed the test. #Endstockbuybacks4Free
Greedy capitalism? In the 40s thru the 80s a family lived on one income. They had a small home, 1 car, no internet, no cell phones, no "reveal parties", they actually ate at home.
How is your life different today? Think about who is greedy?

Yes but America's Uncle Bernie somehow forgets to mention those things .
@@samuelalonso22 Because they're not relevant to the issue being discussed. But please keep on obfuscating and distracting ... y'all have nothing else to campaign on.
Asking the people at the top to share the gains won't ever get employees anywhere, they're not afraid to say no and just hoard the profit to themselves. Employees need to start demanding their piece of the pie be delivered, and if they don't get it, then policy must be set to make it so.
Yes, but no demanding will ever change anything. There has to be a political power behind every meaningful change. People need to organize and someone from out of the two parties has to be elected. Americans need a new, socialist party to come to power.
@@bognagruba7653 if only Bernie would start one
@@shayshay9764 : He did. In the early 90's there were about 5 Progressives, now there are over 100.
Don't give up now when we're over halfway there. Vote blue to keep what freedoms we do have so that we can keep voting in more Progressives. Another 60 in the house and 20 in the Senate can get us a Centrist party. And we desperately need a non-right-wing party, because corporate dems are also Capitalists (RW).
Every publicly trade company has employee stock plan most have some sort of employee match. Even a burger flipper at macdonald investing 15% from 1990 to today would have 3.2 million in stock (given stock split /appreciation/dividend reinvestment).
Hilarious that anyone can say that the 32 hour work week would be bad in any way. There’s proof that it works much better than the 40hr week. PROOF! Indisputable and in practice as I’m writing this.
I have 3 decades of experiencing both, and you're indisputably correct. The greed of the Capitalists even ends up screwing themselves as well. Nowhere near as bad because our right-wing government created a welfare system for the wealthy elite Capitalists that is far more expensive than the welfare system the poor used to have that was just barely enough to keep thousands of workers from becoming homeless. Capitalism = greed and myopic thinking.
Are you talking about that study where the companies that participated saw such an uprise of productivity that they kept the 4 day work week after the study was done?
I ❤️ Bernie! At least he's trying his best to make this country a more humane and just place...
I'd love to hear him tackle the iniquity of the tax system!!
you mean the wealthy not paying their fair share? Where have you been?Bernie hasnt stopped talking about it ever
Bill Gates paid 8 billion in taxes, so did Elon Musk.
What's your fair share of someone else's money?

On a aussi perdu nos communautés parce qu'on est trop déconnecté.
Europe has been doing it successfully for a long time.
Unfortunately the US spends so much money all over the world that we can’t afford it! Bernie’s a nice old man that is more of a Socialist! Imagine owning a company and losing 20% of the production and productivity of your Company? California introduced the $20 minimum wage and thousands lost their jobs! How about instead of these Fantasy bills that are just a pipe dream they actually help the Elderly, Veterans And Homeless to Start?
The percentage of workers in companies' costs dropped from 50 percent to 20 percent. Workers clearly deserve 32 hours not more but less, even a 20 hour work week would be sufficent.
Go on Bernie
Ok, do the math. A doctor works 20 hours a week? How does that work?
As a builder, I pay my employees to work 20 hours a week?
If you think houses are expensive now, they will double in price.
So a long distance truck driver hauls goods for 20 hours a week? Cost of logistics will double.
So how exactly will it work to have a fire department that works 20 hours a week?
Do the math, because there is a cost on the side of the equation.
@@youtubesucks1499automate it sweety
it's hard... so don't even try, right?
@@ThatOpalGuy What are the consequences? If employers pay full time for 32 hours... the business will pass the cost on to the consumer.
People don't want to work or grow up.
@@youtubesucks1499 Your worries assume everything else stays the same. Lots of variables. It can work if you want it to work.
In 1940, a single worker earned enough to support a family with the wife raising children and teaching them morality. Since the 70's it took two incomes to support a family, both worked and their combined pay was about what one earned in 1940 adjusted for inflation. Older bullies raised the younger kids because school let out at 2 and no parent was home until 6. Today working people can not afford kids even with both working. Replacement humans have to come from welfare mothers or immigrants. Does this look good to you?
You had me till the end. Why are we not expanding the welfare to everyone. Clearly each worker essentially makes half what they used to. But you have conservative minded people that made the restrictions so tough, only someone with a child and no job would qualify.
And we don't give fed aid to migrants so that doesn't really feel relative but point is.
Look at the problems, we have loosened all regulations, tax the lowest in history. Companies take advantage of us. Pay attention to that, not the ones that are the only ones who qualify for help at this point as they try to cut even more aid to the masses.
The real shift began in 1980 when Reagan broke the air traffic controller's strike and businesses declared open warfare against workers. Trickle down economics claimed that if we gave greater and greater tax breaks and bigger subsidies to business then everyone would be better off. Both Democrats and Republicans bought into this and "freed" corporations from taxation, while also pushing through free trade agreements that sent jobs to poorer countries. Part of the deal of free trade was cheap labor, whether it is overseas or immigrant labor here. There is still no overtime for farm workers, and children are allowed to work in the field all day in the US. It's to keep wages down. Children are cheap. Soon it will be not only men and women in the workforce working for pennies, but all of their children as well. And people will still be terrified of "socialism" and vote against taxing the rich.
Unfortunate for this country, that this amazing man is not running for president 😢😢😢
Sad that Bernie Sanders was not U.S. President along time ago!

Thank God.
Right now, he’s much more valuable to us in the Senate. No small thing.
Healthcare is a human right in all the top country except America. Thats how you know we are failing.
Similar work weeks are already in place in many EU countries. No wonder they rank higher in prosperity and happiness.
John Kenneth Gailbreath predicted in the 1930's that by now most people would be working not a 32 hour week but a 15 hour week based on the rate of growth of the US economy. America is more than wealthy enough to accomplish this with few exceptions. The problem is the unequal distribution of wealth. Not productivity.
Apparently Russia has free Medical care like Europe. And 28 days paid Vacation leave, and paid Maternity leave.
Hmmmm....
Respect to Bernie!
And a brutal dictator that tortured millions while he is a billionaire
Theres innocent people in this shithole being executed and put in prison over here as well.@@donstern4135
why even mention Russia..there are plenty of democratic nations with similar benefits that the US worker does not have. Its the republicans who are Putins allies. Dont put Bernie in the same sentence as Putin please..
@@donstern4135 I think his point is that even people under the scumbag oligarch Putin are treated better than are Americans.
Well, let's look at how the average Russian lives:
the average annual salary in Russia is around 1,240,000 RUB, or approximately USD 14,771. It should be noted that this figure varies greatly based on factors such as geography, industry, and employment role.
According to statistics, the average area of an apartment in Russia is from 55 to 65 square meters. At the same time, on average, there are 25 square meters of living space per person in Russia.Dec 14, 2019
That's about 700 square feet.
The top surgeons in Russia make less than 90k annually usd
Who would want to live in a tiny apartment making squat?
Maybe if you can get a brain surgeon to agree to a 90k annually salary and live in a 700 sf apartment, and pay a 20% VAT tax.
What is the median salary in Russia? The monthly median salary in Russia is roughly 94,900 RUB, which is approximately USD 1,130. This median statistic is especially telling because it implies that half of Russia's working population earns less than this amount, while the other half earns more.
So why don't you move to Russia?
A 32 hour work week would be extremely good for our country. It would create more time for families and reduce greenhouse gas emissions too.
Ok, and the cost of goods goes up.
As a builder, if my crew works 32 hours a week construction is delayed and houses will cost more.
So how does a hospital operate on a 32 hour work week? Doctors work 32 hours a week? We already have a shortage of healthcare professionals.
So a mechanic is open 32 hours a week?
A truck driver hauls goods 32 hours a week?
The police and fire department work 32 hours a week?
The power company only works 32 hours a week?
Ok so when cost of goods and services skyrocket what's the plan?
Walmart is open 32 hours a week?
How is this going to work exactly?
@@youtubesucks1499 Because most people stopped pursuing those types of jobs because the work is grueling and unforgiving. You want more people in skilled labor, make it easier for them to get involved.
Plus with 8 billion people on this planet, (a lot more than what existed in the '40s) there's no reason you couldn't hire until the whole shift is filled. And I guarantee they'd be way more productive with their time while working.
@@whereamigoing777 First, it takes 4 years to learn a trade.
Second, you have to find someone who will work in all kinds of weather and the work is physically demanding.
Third, just hire people to fill in the gaps?
So, it takes 4 years of college, 4 years medical school, 3-7 years of residency, and pass the boards to become a doctor/surgeon... so you can't hire one in a day.
So I hire a guy from India to run pipe or pull wire for an apartment complex? So the 8 billion people isn't going to work unless they speak the language and have the credentials.
@@whereamigoing777 How is it hard to become an electrician? You apply for a job as an apprentice.
It's really easy.
Regardless of whether the 32-hour work week is implemented or not, prices will increase. For me, nothing is more essential than being well. You won't be able to move around to buy anything or engage in any activity if your health isn't good, regardless of rising prices. In addition, working longer hours means spending a lot of time with toxic coworkers, which is stressful at work and bad for one's mental health. Then, imagine this: if you spend several hours performing a hazardous job, guess what? In other ways, it damages the body and increases stress. Starting a side hustle that's not stressful is the best course of action if the person needs that extra money, along with a 32-hour work week if prices rise.

I would love to only work 40 hours a week, I’m a truck driver and work 70-80 hours a week
well that needs to change...so much needs to change in this country but people vote status quo so nothing will ever change
@@shayshay9764 I’m over the road, so I might drive and work 70-80 hours a week but I’m gone away from home for 6 days straight
unfortunately that is a different type of work needs to be changed but that is hardest one to change
Trucking business needs to change, long distance only automated self driving trucks, drivers only locally so you can have normal life.
Not to mention reductions in energy consumption!
Since the Industrial Revolution, people have been talking about working less thanks to increased production. 200 years later, we have men, women, even children working 40 hour workweeks. If you’ll allow me to anthropomorphise the earth, she does not us to produce so much, either. We need to be able to relax and enjoy all the hard work every generation before us has put in. That was always the goal! The goal was never to continue to produce indefinitely and at an increased rate for no reason.
Whatcyiur parents produced would never support your lifestyle. 4 bedroom home, 2 plus cars, eat out more than you eat at home, vacation every winter and a cell phone for every child.
I don't hear you talking about it but one thing having a shorter week and getting the same pay or even more is it's good for the economy when people have a leisure time they spend more money so local businesses will improve and that means employing more people
Sure when u have leisure time u could travel going to gym get rid of ur depression be more productive
Need to tie Wages to Cost of Living
And Social Security Benefits need to apply an accurate index when calculating its COLA.
Thank you Senator Sanders for introducing this bill, it's got me very excited!!
I brought up this bill to a boomer a while ago and he said, "Whoever thought that up hasn't worked a day in his life," but to that I say, whoever is against it hasn't worked a day in the past 30 years. You used to be able to afford a house, two cars, and a family on one salary, they used to give out pensions to employees, and you used to be able to expect to retire some day. Not anymore.
I hope and pray for this bill's success. It would do so much to relieve the stress I'm sure many employees (myself included) are feeling. With a 32-hour work week, more people would be comfortable having children and raising a family. They'd be free to care for their elderly parents, get more exercise, work on personal projects, take care of their mental and physical health, etc. It would reduce the amount of commuting and therefore bring down pollution. It would employ more workers and make workers more valuable. Please let this pass.
Bernie, You are a national treasure. Thank you for your wisdom. And please, I hope you have recorded your wisdom in many books for generations to come to be enlightened by. Thank you for your amazing heart.
Thank you Bernie for keeping thing in favor of the middle class Sir.
Thank you, Bernie for all of your hard work on behalf of everyday Americans! 💙
I retired early at age 54, got the hell out of America, and moved to the Philippines. So, I don't really have a dog in this fight, but if employers just compromised and at least cut the work week back to 36 hours, employee morale and productivity would go up. I had a college professor in 1987 who predicted that in the future Americans would have a 32-hour work week because of the increased productivity brought on by automation and better computing. There is one thing he didn't count on: increasingly rampant corporate GREED.
I have older coworkers who would benefit sooo much from this kind of change, and yet one guy who's both working two jobs and is most outspoken about this claims that people today are lazy, entitled, greedy, selfish, etc, and glorifies his life of working 60+ hours a week just to be able to afford a place 2 hours away from work.
Like it's ridiculously sad how indoctrinated people are to the old work culture, to the point where they'll gladly suffer if it means they get to brag that they don't take full vacations or sick days, and label people they disagree with as parasites to the economy.
Last year I only worked 7 of weeks of 40 hour weeks. The rest were overtime and even I wanted to not work the OT I had no choice.
Of course you had a choice. You mean you disliked the other choice more than working OT.
Bernie you're on the correct side of history. Thank you sir!
The way Bernie explains this is brilliant, love Bernie.
This is actually a good policy as company will be forced to develop robotics faster and people can move to a more creative, service and research production output
As a simple, 1st step, one that is even available to do as an Executive order:
Increase the Standard Deduction to a Living Wage (hands out of our pockets until after we've made rent!). ($40k)
Add 10% for "Essential Workers", you know, to cover their coffee.
Yep, look to govt to cover your poor choices in life!
As a non union construction worker i can't see this happening while I'm still working.. based on many things I'm not even sure I'll ever be able to actually retire.. I'm 44 and 20 years ago i figured I'd retire at around 55-60.. by the time i reach that age I'll be no more well off than i am now.. I'll be lucky if by the time I'm 75 I'll be able to...... if my body lasts that long which i seriously doubt..
You are making atleast $90,000 per year
Save 10k a year and you would have been fine. You need to save for your retirement. Who told you differently?
You are so more innovative than any of the others half your age❤
I love Bernie!! He speaks the truth!!
Some companies have done this, and the results were excellent! Everyone was happier and production did not go down! Europeans enjoy a lot better work environment than USA citizens.
Funny thing is average in EU is 36 + some nordic nations are dabbeling into 32 and so far its working great
Glad Bernie is speaking up
Prices will go sky high look at 20$ fast food worker pay 20$ burger combos.
Problem is companies can just hire freelancers with less pay and no benefits. US companies have been hiring overseas to cut costs, even Google is moving finance jobs to India. What is the plan to tackle this phenomenon and ensure that jobs stay in the US?
Absolutely true
While I support this our "supreme leaders" can't even ensure everyone has the very basics of life, until there is a major change is the distribution of wealth and money is out of politics I just don't see this happening.
The problem with a 40-hour week is that half the people get paid so little that they need an 80-hour week to survive.
Right on, Bernie. ❤️

I gave up on America ever establishing a shorter work week or vacation benefits other western democracies in the EU enjoy so I opted for a shorter working career ~20 years total and a modest yet satisfying retirement. I'm 74 now and never regretted this decision for a minute. There is more to life than working and worshiping at the altar of Madison Ave.
I worked at a warehouse that bought parts from manufacturers to resell to people. Many of the parts we received were already repurchased, labels changed, price increased..just like what we did. Some of the customers were also warehouses that did the same thing.
The incessant need to have people working 40 hours is what creates pointless middle men like that. Instead of going from manufacturer to customer, it gets transported across the freaking country 3 times, plastic and cardboard waste is generated, prices get inflated, and parts get damaged. There are SO MANY of these kinds of businesses in all kinds of industries. They are completely unnecessary, and they only exist so people can have jobs.
Stop making pointless jobs that inflate prices and waste resources. We can be better than this.
Germany; the average working week is 34.2 hours, a minimum of 20 vacation days per year. Australia; the average working week is 38 hours, 4 weeks annual leave.

Oh, I thought the work week would still be 40 hours but work four 10 hour days. I like his idea too.
The amount workers perform hasn't changed just the Way they perform
The problem is Greed, at the top. Workers get $15/hr they hire less workers and raise product prices. Why? Greed. So even if you did have less hours for the same amount of pay, which I agree with. The people at the top will make sure everyone knows why it's a bad idea because they will downsize and raise prices. And that's how they have been fighting back against change. Because they are greedy and they don't give a fuck about you or me or anyone working below them.
Quite frankly, the people at the top will raise prices no matter what, and they'll look for any excuse to do so (heck they'll even do it without any excuse). We workers might as well try to get something when we can.
I can’t fathom 32 hours. Everyone I know worked at least 60 to 80 hours per week. It would have been nice to make enough money in just 40 hours.
How different this country would have been had you become president.
Fewer hours per week for full week's pay will mean an inflated hourly rate. And we need lower not more inflation.
Yes, as when we were farmers we worked 72 hours a week. So there has been decline historically which has been stuck. Shaving off Friday makes the most sense IMO. But, compromise on this would be to promote it as an option both for employers and employees. Because the best workers will obviously be attracted to the 32 hour jobs. Whether the benefits are the same might be another question though? Which again would be up to the employer. But unions can push for these things also.
This is good, it will make it possible for people to have two full time jobs.
The leader we need.
I think to be moderate is the best thing
And I think every work and company has it's rule .
I think law must allow good salary to workers and moderate work hours and effort
My President.
Many people would argue that worker productivity has went down in recent years. We have less people working in essential jobs while the people who are working has some sort of physical and/or mental issues/disabilities that can and has hinder the amount of work they can get done on a daily bases (which to be clear is NOT their fault). We live in a time that demands for goods are higher then they ever have been thanks to higher population and increase greed of those in 1st World Nations. It would only make sense for robotic and AI technologies to fill in the roles of those jobs so to better meet those demands. Why pay us, the low and middle class citizens, more money when it would be cheaper and more profitable to invest in robotic and AI technologies?
Andrew yang raised all these concern back before 2019 and nobody seems to care ,now bernie isnjustbrepeating what andrew yang kept saying half a decade ago

He’s right.
I own three homes, sold a book for millions and a career politician that is worth millions and I’m telling you how it should work
Does anyone know when economic survival in our economy became dependent on TWO incomes per household? Was it in the 1960’s? 70’s?
I work in direct care... As much as Id like to see this implemented it just wont work with certain jobs. The company I work for already accepts 30 hours as full time. Although the pay of course could be a whole lot better. Beyond that there is never enough people employed to fill all of the shifts. Plenty of the people I work with put in loads of extra shifts and overtime because of it. Unless you can make more people not only willing but capable of the work this suggestion cannot happen. People would go without the care they need...
I live in the UK, and I work 36 hours per week. I got 29 days annual leave, plus 8 days bank holidays. If I was ill, I'd get 2 months full pay to stay at hone and recover and 2 months half pay. I earn the equivalent of $53,000 and pay £9.65 for my asthma inhaler.
I watch every youtube video with Bernie in it
The most people with most disposable income and free time possible!
32 hour work week would actually help so many people going through burnout, two days is not enough time to recoup after doing hard labor jobs!
Most people I know would be happy if they just worked 40 hours a week.

Lazy **nts will always stick together.
the economy has changed.. Chinese people work 70+ hours and it's normal to work 50-60 if you want to compete
Should be a 25 hour work week.

Wonderful idea. It would make this country a beautiful place to live in again for the working class
So folks can have more time to work their second and third job necessary to make it because of skyrocketing costs.
I dont think anyone who hasnt held a real job in the real economy should tell anyone about a work week.
But how realistic is it to think this could happen in the near future?
