This is fine as long as you realize that the price of most things will rise. If an employer has to hire additional people to provide the service hours required the net effect is that cost is pasted onto you.

Works in England:

But no matter what Sanders tries to do, it seems unlikely to pass the Senate and will NEVER pass the House.

I don't think this will ever become law in the US in the near future. The biggest change for some workers came about because of the covid lunacy. So many were "forced" to work remotely and loved it. It was fun after they could no longer play the "we are all going die from covid" how employers wanted everyone to come back. This was total bullshit. If people were productive working remote why did they need to drag their ass back into an office

This would force most people back to an office.

I work a couple hour a day most days. They prob would give me more work if this became law

I’m all for worker rights but this would leave to mass layoffs and more work. Thanks Bernie.

I think Bernie believes his own BS but he’s not very smart.
