There
is a very interesting bill moving thru the legislature of the formerly
great state of California. If passed into law it would require that
employers with more than 500 employees do the following.
Cut their work week from 8X5, 40 hours per week, to 8 X 4, 32 hours per week, WITH NO DECREASE IN PAY.
I
have no idea how this would be structured or if it means 500 total
employees within the state or 500 at any one location. I suspect that
many colleges and universities have that many employees and single
locations.
I also have
no idea if government employers are exempt. I can think of a LOT of
state prison employees who would love this arrangement. The prison
system is one of the few agencies in the state that would have 500
employees at a fair number (30 plus) locations through out the state.
This
would presumably drive the Tesla factory and pretty much any other
large manufacturing business out of California for good, which is fine
with much of the CA legislature. They believe that big businesses are
bad and should be driven out.
The scary-stupid part is that this idiocy made it out of committee.
