What to know about Bernie Sanders' bill for the U.S. to adopt a 32-hour workweek

Quick Glance: Bernie Sanders advocates for a 32-hour workweek in the US

Bernie Sanders introduced a bill to reduce the standard workweek in the US from 40 to 32 hours without cutting wages.

A shorter workweek could increase productivity and job satisfaction, as indicated by studies.

Critics, however, caution that a 32-hour workweek might pose production challenges in certain industries.

Despite facing opposition, Sanders aims to ensure that technological advancements benefit workers and not just corporate executives.

Quick Glance: White House Urges Senate Action on TikTok Legislation

The administration strongly urges the Senate to swiftly advance a bill compelling ByteDance to sell TikTok.

The legislation garnered broad bipartisan support during the House vote.

While the House efficiently passed the bill, the Senate hesitates, requiring ByteDance to either sell TikTok to an American company or face a U.S. ban.

Certain senators are hesitant to fully endorse the TikTok legislation, sparking discussions beyond Capitol Hill.
