Obama planning overtime pay expansion for millions of workers
He can provide overtime pay for many, many workers at the stroke of a pen, without anything from Congress.
About time.
Can he get rid of that stupid exemption for "executive responsibilities"?
That's just a way to let employers screw bottom row supervisory types and make them resent the protections they DON'T get but the people working for them do.
It is not unusual for those folks to make less than their underlings, at least during weeks when OT pay is added in.
And it is not unusual for management to insist on squeezing 50 or 60 hours out of them, every week.
Here are more details of who would be affected, and how.
Shame O can't run again.
I would really like to annoy the Republicans by voting him yet another term.
Yes, yes. Voting is an impotent and irrational gesture.
And mass politics, even in a democracy, is such a repulsive and obscene carnival one cannot help being repelled.
But still.
