    Or it could be that as the article also said,

    The Washington county reduced hours due to a tight budget

    Which implies that pay was cut and not everyone could do without that extra bit.

      Nope. FTA:

      Employees were offered the same pay for 32 hours as they had received for a 40-hour work week.

      It was part of their contract negotiation, and they took reduced hours in lieu of a pay increase.
