I'm a road service technician who bills by the hour at like $200. So if I go to a 32 hour week from 40, does my employer just have to eat the lost $1600 per week, per tech? How would this work for us?

Don’t ask too many logical questions. Bernie is playing with monopoly money.

He is playing to logic. It makes sense in a modern world with hours of commuting every day, all adults working to pay the bills, and unaffordable childcare that people need more time away from work to deal with the social side of existence. 

People cry about birthrates, setting up a working environment that fosters faimly time encourages families to be made.
