AI Summary
This bill, the Thirty-Two Hour Workweek Act, amends the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to reduce the standard workweek from 40 hours to 32 hours. The bill specifies that employees must receive overtime pay at a rate of one and a half times their regular pay for any hours worked over 32 in a week, and double pay for any hours over 12 in a day.
