The proposal is for a six hour day with no change in pay. Quoting one of the articles referred to on the article: "The 1990s saw several experiments with the six-hour day for a full wage in Sweden."[1]
The theory is that people should be based on work output, rather than hours input, and the six hour day typically sees an increase in productivity, so the output is maintained and the pay is maintained.

- owen_griffiths 11y agobut the example in this article required more workers hired, so output per worker clearly wasn't maintained.
