Congressional Staffers Demand A 32 Hour Work Week? Guess How Many!

James Kaufman, World News Report, today, January 17th, 2025. God bless you and yours, no matter where you are in the world. Please subscribe, give us a thumbs up, ring that bell for critical future updates. Congressional staffers demand a 32-hour work week, with many Americans working two jobs to make ends meet. Colored, progressive staffers on Capitol Hill are now demanding a 32-hour work week. In a letter to top House and Senate leaders Thursday, the Congressional Staff Association proposed establishing a 32-hour workweek on the Hill, claiming that reduced hours could improve worker satisfaction, increase staff retention in Congress, and model a more sustainable approach to work on a national level, according to Politico. I looked it up, and there's just over 31,000 congressional staff members, all making over $170,000 a year. Unbelievable. That was the latest information I could find. Now, a lot of people don't realize, but all of these congressmen and representatives also have staff in their hometowns or wherever they were elected. So they have. Two sets of staff, D.C. staff and their community offices staff, quote, we do not want a 32-hour work week just to be another special benefit for congressional staff, the group said in its letter requesting the special benefit, quote, we hope by adopting this policy, members of Congress can help to advance the discussion around a more sustainable work week as a national Priority. And model how it can work for private and public employers across the country and the world. Laugh out loud. So by granting these rich kids, these connected kids, a 32-hour work week, they can set an example for the rest of the country and the world. And we too will have a 32-hour work week. One day, sure, I'll bet. It's an idea that's gained some traction on the left with Bernie Sanders and a few others. Bernie Sanders introduced a bill to implement a 32-hour work week nationally, which of course is not going to fly. Most all of the Congress members are 100% against the idea on both the right and left. For some Democrats, the cusp of Trump's inauguration was the wrong time to pitch Working Less, said Tom Hogan, a Democratic communications consultant and former Hill staffer. Laugh out loud. Read the room, guys. End quote. Representative Richie Torres, Democrat in New York, mocked the idea on X, posting, Why not behold and ask for a zero-hour work week? I wonder how blue-collar Americans would feel about white-collar workers demanding a 32-hour work week, huh, and government workers at that. Everyone always forgets these are our dollars, our tax dollars. Of course, Republicans also mocked the idea, suggesting that it was good as long as they'll scale back their wages by 20-25%. Staff should have the ability to opt-in. An easy place to save 20% at Elon Musk at Doge posted Representative Chip Roy, Republican Texas on X. The rich kid slapped back, though, with their group spokesperson, Michael Cecheki, saying, quote, the frustration about this initiative comes from a fundamental misunderstanding. Staff members are not calling for Congress to jeopardize its productivity with a new office schedule. We believe, and research agrees, that implementing a 32-hour work week will not maintain existing levels of productivity and work quality, but increase them. God bless you and yours, folks.
