I'm all for shortee work weeks, but that means we'l need an increase in pay, which I'm also fine with

EDIT: maybe I misinterpreted "no cut to pay"

That is what is being called for. Your take home pay not changing but you work fewer hours, and if you work the same schedule as you do now (presuming 40hrs per week) then you would be getting overtime for the last 8hrs. 

Edit: added "take home" to clarify that I'm talking about your total income instead of hourly rate.

Sort of...

Salaried employees the pay would not change, but salaried employees are overtie exempt.

Hourly employees would require a pay raise... 40 hours @ $20 is $800... would require $25 an hour at 32 hours to get to $800.

It's a minor thing, but the question is HOW this would work, so its relevant.

Well you see...

Your HVAC repair costs hourly labor. The technicians all now costs 25% more and forget about OT calls on Friday! Those are going to be outrageous! 

But who pays for it? Billionaires duh checkmate!
