Summary
His bill is a revision of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), which instituted the 40-hour work week."I care about making capitalism sustainable and more humane — and less low road and less cutthroat," Takano said.The substance of his legislation, Takano said, is a work week where overtime kicks in once someone has worked 32 hours. That doesn't mean that all workers have to cut their hours down to 32 — but they'll be paid time and a half for any hours worked beyond that."What begins to happen for workers who are covered by this law is that they have greater leverage in a labor market — meaning that they are likely to be able to make more money for the hours that they do work," Takano said.
