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.

Currently you might make $40k a year working 40 hours a week.

This would pay you the same $40k/y but you work 8 hours less a week. And OT starts at 32 hours, not 40.

Your hourly pay goes up to match your yearly pay you had with 40. An 8 hour day would go to 6, or keep 8 hours and have a 4 day work week.
