As AI companies rave about how their products are revolutionizing productivity, Senator Bernie Sanders wants the tech industry to put its money where its automated mouth is.
A.I. aside, we should get 4 day work weeks regardless.
Interesting. I was under the belief that disability benefit requiments basically meant “unable obtain and maintain full time employment due to a disability”. After some research it seems it’s more about how much money you earn than how many hours you work.
Are you not conflating Part Time/Hourly and Full time/Salary?
70% of Americans work full time and just under 60% of American workers are paid hourly wage.
For example, every factory I’ve worked in has been Full Time hours with hourly wage pay.
It’s mostly Managerial/corporate positions that are salaried afaik.
I don’t think the work requirements for disability work that way, or are tied to the same legislation.
It would help people who work full-time. People who work hourly already don’t work M-F 8-5 most of the time.

AFAIK there is no such thing as hourly full-time in the US. Some places do the paychecks that way, but you are either part-time, full-time exempt, or full-time non-exempt.
