<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/democratic-party" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Democrat</a> staff members who belong to a far-Left caucus wrote a letter to congressional leaders this week asking that they reduce the full-time work week to just 32 hours so that they do not get burned out.</p>
<p>The Congressional Progressive Staff Association, which represents House and Senate employees across the country, claimed that their proposal was about &#8220;a more sustainable approach to work on a national level.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;By adopting a 32-hour workweek for staff on a rotating basis, you can accomplish these goals while retaining the productivity and quality of work you expect and deserve from your team,&#8221; they claimed. &#8220;We urge you to consider piloting the program in your own offices and encouraging your fellow Members across your conference or caucus to do the same.&#8221;</p>
<p>They complained that their jobs working for members of Congress were &#8220;often demanding and intensive.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Staffers routinely work long hours at a level of rigor that regularly leads to burnout,&#8221; the letter claimed.</p>
<p>The proposal, which was widely mocked online, said that members should institute &#8220;a 32-hour workweek for D.C.-based staff during district work periods and a 32-hour workweek for district-based staff while in-session.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Doing so — without a reduction in pay — would allow both D.C. and distinct staff to be fully available around the clock throughout more intensive periods when the Member is in town while allowing for a more sustainable schedule when workloads are more manageable,&#8221; they added. &#8220;If implemented, offices are not likely to see a drop in overall productivity.&#8221;</p>

<p>The staffers claimed that members who were skeptical should &#8220;engage in a six-month pilot&#8221; to see if the reduction in hours leads to increased outcomes.</p>
<p>Rep. Burgess Owens (R-UT) responded to the letter: &#8220;Members of Congress are always looking to hire and retain the best staff—hard workers who you can count on to go above and beyond on behalf of constituents.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;My advice to these &#8216;progressive staffers&#8217; is simple: find a new industry. Public service is clearly not meant for you,&#8221; he added.</p>
<p>Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) responded: &#8220;If progressive hill staffers worked 0 hours per week, it would probably do more to help the Democrats win than anything else they could do.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;You want to work 32 hours but get paid for 40? Nope,&#8221; said Rep. Kat Cammack (R-FL). &#8220;The taxpayers aka your boss, deserve folks who hustle and work hard FULL TIME on their behalf. This is public service after all…&#8221;</p>
