Comment on Bernie Sanders Champions 32-Hour Work Week With No Loss in Pay

Wouldn’t a 32 hour work week, keeping the same wage, sort of raise the minimum wage by default? I work full time, work less hours, and keep the same wage?

Kind of, except you might still need to work multiple jobs because one doesn’t pay enough to keep you alive

Sure, yes, but the minimum wage should probably also still increase more than the average, since it is still the lowest-paid who are getting screwed hardest of all

  This is why we need unions.
  
  The autoworkers union the article refers to as an example is seeking a 46% pay rise to coincide with the transition to 32 hours.
