Two Republican lawmakers are circulating a bill that would allow manufacturing and retail employees to work seven days per week.
Current state law requires employers to give factory and retail workers at last 24 hours of rest every seven days.
Sen. Glenn Grothman of West Bend and state Rep. Mark Born of Beaver Dam are sponsoring the measure.
They say federal law doesn't impose limits on consecutive work days, as long as overtime and minimum wage requirements are met.
Opponents say the bill essentially eliminates the weekend.
