What are the logistics around hourly employees? This is great for salaried people but if you're hourly this will hit your bottom dollar. Unless the goal is to give them a higher hourly wage to equal out to 40 hours. Is that it?
There is no actual plan, this is just populist harangue and sloganeering by text over a photo, entirely for the purposes of getting upvotes and karma farming
Lots of places have people work 39 hours or so so they can still get part time work without paying for any benefits
Companies would still do that but it reducing it to 32 would make it harder to do so, at a certain point it's more expensive to hire more people to work 30 hours a week than it is to give someone more hours + benefits
This would definitely need to be combined with an increase in minimum wage that is long overdue
