What's so great about the 40 hour work week that it seems to be immutable to you? Was the 40 hour work week handed down from GOD almighty? Was the 40 hour work week written into our federal or state constitutions?
Why can't people think maybe workers would do better with fewer hours?
There's nothing great about it at all. Unfortunately some people need 40 hours to make ends meet.

Oh yes.. People are much happier with less food, clothing and less disposable income... We should all strive to work less and do without...
Companies that didn't offer insurance to part time workers changed their employees hours to match the new definition put out by the IRS so they could continue to not offer insurance and not be subject to a government penalty of $2K per worker.
Did people just think businesses would roll over on this ?
I don't believe many people thought about anything. They rushed this pc. of crap bill as a bridge to single payer. The government wants to be in charge of our HC, because it makes us all beholding to them.
An army of totalitarian bureaucrats has taken over all aspects of our government.
France doesn't have a 40 hour work week. It's worked well for them for a very long time. Humans are not slaves to their jobs. Americans are on the most psychiatric medications on Earth. With long work hours, coupled with few vacation days, I wonder why it's about working smart, not hard. Only fools work hard without getting results (I call it inefficiency)
What if someone wants to work a 40-hour working week? Couldn't you say they are essentially becoming slaves to financial disparity? I'd rather work 40-hours and earn that check to go on a vacation to France as opposed to working 30-hours a week and staying home painting the time I'm off.

Nope..not 30, but 29 hours. At 30 hours you're considered a full time employee.

Only because as a society we have decided that in order to work fulltime requires 40hrs a week or something close to for hours a week. This can be changed.
Companies did. Anywhere from 30-40 hours was full time. Companies decided.
So LOLOLOL right back at ya.
LOLOLOLOLOLOL Who is or isn't considered full time is and has been defined by the government for decades are you being serious?
Again, the government keeps track of full time and part time workers.
How did they do that without defining those terms? This is a very simple question.
Or do you believe that until President Obama was elected the government through the Department of labor didn't have definition of who is part and full time? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
