32 hour work week
I’ve been working a 32 hour work week for several years.
Now my employer wants me to work 40 hours a week.
If I refuse my employer will cut me down to 24 hours, with no benefits.
What choice do I have if any?
Thanks.

Actually, your employer can do this. That is unless this action violates the terms of a union agreement or employment contract. Otherwise, as an "at will" worker your company can set the conditions of your employment much as it sees fit, absent some form of legally actionable discrimination.
