Bernie Sanders Backs UAW Call for a 4-Day Work Week

‘As a nation, we should begin a serious discussion — and UAW is doing that — about substantially lowering the work week’

EXCERPT:

SANDERS: “We are looking at an explosion in this country of artificial intelligence and robotics. And that means that the average worker is going to be much more productive. Worker productivity is going to increase significantly. The question as a nation that we have got to ask ourselves is, who's going to benefit from that increased productivity? Is all of that new income and wealth being created by worker productivity going to go to the people on top, or are workers going to benefit? So, right now, in my view, I happen to believe that, as a nation, we should begin a serious discussion -- and the UAW is doing that -- about substantially lowering the workweek.”
