Sanders and Takano announced they will reintroduce legislation for a standard 32-hour workweek with no loss in pay or benefits.

H.R. 10323 was introduced by Mr. Takano and referred to the Committee on Education and Workforce.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): GovInfo confirms a 119th Congress House companion bill was introduced to reduce the standard workweek from 40 to 32 hours, but it does not show Sanders as the Senate sponsor or confirm Senate introduction in the current term.

The promise was to introduce and support 32-hour-workweek legislation with no loss in pay or benefits. In the 119th Congress, Sanders publicly backed the Thirty-Two Hour Workweek Act and released Senate bill text/fact-sheet material with Rep. Takano, while Takano formally introduced the House bill H.R. 10323 on September 8, 2026. The available evidence does not confirm that Sanders formally introduced a numbered Senate bill in the current term, so this is meaningful same-term support and advancement but short of full delivery of the introduce-and-support promise.
