Who cares how many hours someone is putting in. Businesses need people that work part time. It offers flexibility and lower rates.

However, the bigger factor is that most require 40 hours to be eligible for benefits. So this proposal would essentially make part time workers available for benefits.

I think you may have missed the part about "with no reduction in pay."

In all honesty, I'm sure his proposal is encompassing to keep everything the same as it is now except reducing the 40 hour requirement. It's one of those bills that will in all likelihood never see a vote, and if it does, it would be killed super quick.

I do wish it would be more standard practice to offer employees more flexibility where possible. I'd love to work 4X10 work weeks. An extra day off would be nice. Hell, a 40 hour work week would be nice.
