Congressman Mark Takano, D-Calif., and Senator Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., reintroduced the Thirty-Two Hour Workweek Act this week to make the workweek 32 hours. 

The bill would amend the Fair Labor Standards Act to "reduce the standard workweek from 40 hours to 32 hours for nonexempt employees," a news release about the bill said.

"Covered employees would be eligible to receive overtime compensation for any hours worked beyond 32 hours in a standard workweek," the release also said.
