As it says on the tin, really —this bill would define full-time work in Frémont as thirty-two hours a week, require employers to pay overtime for work over thirty-two hours, and adjust the minimum wage formula accordingly. Not only will this provide much-needed respite to an overworked and underpaid working class, it will create new opportunities for employment in industries that need the manpower while appropriately adjusting to modern labor needs in others where automatization plays an increased role.
Wouldn't this just result in employers cutting everyone's hours to 32, resulting in a pay cut for most Atlasians?
