    The US government isn’t party to private contracts

    Learn what at-will employment is and how much of the US is stuck with it

      I’m fully aware of at will employment.

      I fail to see how that helps with the 32 workweek. You’re not going to get a general strike, and there’s plenty of people who will happily move into that job.

        If you’re fully aware of what at-will is then you’d know saying

        The US government isn’t party to private contracts

        Is silly when the overwhelming majority of employees in this country do not have a private contract for employment

          Yes they do.

          A contract is simply an agreement- in the case of employment, to provide work for payment. Even at will, that is a contract. The contract can be terminated any time at will by either party, but it’s still a contract.
