In addition to requesting a 32-hour work week, the CPSA has voiced support for protests of the Israel-Hamas war on college campuses across the U.S., with a May press release from the group stating it “unequivocally stands alongside these nonviolent student protestors and their efforts to raise the alarm about the complicity of both their colleges and of the United States in the War on Gaza.” College campuses saw a surge in antisemitic sentiment amid the wave of protests, with a 2024 online study from Brandeis University of 20,000 young adult Jews indicating rates of hostility against Jews on U.S. campuses in 2023 were approximately twice that of 2016.

Reduced workweeks are also largely unsuccessful for customer-facing businesses, according to a 2023 BBC report, which the constituent-facing job of a congressional staffer could qualify as.
32 hours a week? Sure, pay the Hill Staffers as part-time employees. Reduce their pay and benefits. Let’s go @DOGE this is a perfect RIF! https://t.co/9Gk1v6ykd2
