Members of the The Congressional Progressive Staff Association abandoned their push for a 32-hour work week on Capitol Hill.

The organization said in a statement on Thursday that it is withdrawing the "recent letter to congressional leadership on a rotating 32-hour workweek.”

The original letter said a 32-hour work week was a "more sustainable approach to work on a national level."

The group said that the letter did not make clear that "congressional staff are dedicated to serving the American people no matter how many hours it takes to get the job done."

The group's members also said “there are well-known, longstanding workplace issues that deserve Congress’s immediate attention if it wishes to effectively serve the people" and there are "myriad ways Congress can address these issues."

“Right now, a 32-hour workweek for staff will not be one of them," they said.
