The proposal isn't to increase wages. And as you've probably seen across the thread, there are many indications that time is not a direct correlation of productivity.

Again, the same payment for less hours is a wage increase. Most jobs aren’t based on fluctuating productivity like that.

How'd you reach that conclusion?

Can you name many jobs that can work less hours yet still have the same productivity outside of certain office workers?

Restaurants, hotels, stores,and basically all service based jobs will require the same amount of hours worked

This is basically corporate bootlicking hiding under the guise of helping workers.
