    they lose hours but the hourly pay goes up, just like everybody else, no? I haven’t read the bill but I would be surprised if that’s not in there.

        The problem is that company are absolutely going to pass that off to customers (aka, the workers… ultimately.)

        News flash, they’re going to be raising prices regardless.

            Point is, they’re going to anyway. So why even take that into consideration?

      Companies already offer part time retail positions, and they are shitty about it. 39.5 hours a week to avoid the full time line.

      So in this 32h future they’d just offer 31 hour positions at a lower rate and still yank people around

      Edit: I was off on values. Commenter below pointed out 30 is the mark

        The Full time Mark is already 30 hours per week measured monthly so not this would not change anything

          Sorry off on values, but they would offer part time. This is common.

          So 28-29 hours.
