One of the first items of business for House Republicans in the new Congress is to vote on a bill Thursday that would redefine the work week from 30 hours to 40 hours. It's called the Save American Workers Act of 2015 and it would require the work week to be defined as 40 hours rather than 30, which is mandated under the Affordable Care Act. Employers would be able to give full-time workers 39 hours of work - nearly a full work week that would not hurt employee output - and avoid providing health insurance to the employee, which is required under the ACA. Employers support it, including the National Retail Federation, the National Restaurant Association and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. http://nbcnews.to/1ANbSIK http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ
