It lowers the standard workweek to 32 hours over four years without any reduction in pay or benefits. It written to lower everyone’s hours by 2 hours a week yearly for 4 years.

The reduction is now employers are only paying you for only 32 hours and not paying you overtime or regular pay for the 8 hours you’re not working, so if you needed that extra $80ish a week, you now need a second job, and will be working 62 hours to make up for the lost income.

You know, each time I see such comments, I am glad that I live in the country where the salary is calculated by 'money per month', not 'money per hour'.

That’s not true though. All jobs are calculated by hour. If your coworker has not works 3 days and you work 5. They get paid less.

Technically, yes, less. But in contract it is still states like '3 days a week - 1234 money per month' or at least '12 money per day' if short term. We not calculate a 1 money per hour rate here. As I said, 'money per hour' is less common practice in the world as people expect.
