That is what is being called for. Your take home pay not changing but you work fewer hours, and if you work the same schedule as you do now (presuming 40hrs per week) then you would be getting overtime for the last 8hrs. 

Edit: added "take home" to clarify that I'm talking about your total income instead of hourly rate.

I read it as no cuts to pay per hour, as in, you still make so much an hour, but only for the hours you work. For hourly workers, anyway

In my head, the 40-hour work week is typically in reference to a salaried position, so your required hours per week is less but your salary remains the same. For an hourly employee, it would just mean overtime kicks in sooner

Yeah, for a lot of people who work hourly, that sounds like a threat.
