DAVID CARROLL: Who Wants a 4-Day Work Week?

News item: The United Auto Workers are demanding a four-day work week, in which they would receive 40 hours of pay for 32 hours of work.

That’s a popular idea. It would be hard to find a worker in any profession who would oppose that. From what I can find out, many members of Congress are in favor. After all, they routinely report for duty only three days a week, and what do they have to show for it? During much of 2023, they have spent their mini-weeks failing to do Job #1, which is electing a speaker of the House. So how would it look if they oppose a little down time for auto workers while they continue to arrive to the office later, leave earlier, and get very little done?
