35 hours, Shemp. But you have the origin of this shorter work week backwards. It didn't come from the side of the workers or from labor union efforts, but from the side of the guvmint itself. They figured that if they set the max work week at 35 hours per day, they could create more jobs and thus have more people working. Besides, you're just jealous. The French workers also get a minimum of four weeks' paid vacation per year, too.
