Lowers the hours which constitute a work week over three years to thirty-hours.

This bill amends the labor law to gradually reduce the number of hours that constitute a legal work week from thirty-eight hours to thirty-hours over three years. Initially, it sets the work week at thirty-six hours, then reduces it to thirty-four hours, and finally to thirty-hours. The changes will take effect two, one, and three years after the bill becomes law, respectively.
