text: who said 40 hrs had to be a full work week? why can't 20 hrs be enough? i am sick of my baby being sleep when i go to work and sleepy when i return home from work. who ever made 40hrs work weeks couldn't had a life.  how can the laws be changed and we keep the same pay rate? because a lot of people dont work at all so the rest of us have to work to generate income to pay taxes to support the welfare and unemployment system.
