How is it that a third world country Ike mine pays overtime pay to all employees who work beyond the standard 8 hour work day. 25% of the hourly rate is added to the hours of overtime, plus a night differential rate if you work past 11 pm. +30% if you have to do work during a holiday.
Not being paid for overtime work is very slavery to me.
The reasoning of the judge is because the companies will have to pay billions in OT pay. Fuck them.
What country? Do you offer political asylum to people fleeing dictatorial regimes?
Well we currently have the son of the former dictator as a president so there’s that.
Does he seem like he’s going to do better than his dad?

We do get overtime pay, this rule was for a very specific segment of workers who were exempt. Being salaried and making under a certain amount. Hourly employees get time and a half for every hour past 40 in a week, federally.
Obviously a little late for this administration, but could the next liberal admin try beating them to the punch on this? Are there no liberal friendly judicial districts? Have one of those file a weak lawsuit to uphold the law. Then that could at least be referenced when they attack in a red area.
The problem is SCOTUS. Anything reaching them is going to come down on the Republican side.
The problem is there aren’t enough actual liberals left in the DNC. The majority of the DNC is more than happy to screw over workers to the benefit of corporations. What resistance they provide is mostly performative, as their real priorities are dictated by what the large corporate donors are paying for.
Screwing over workers to the benefit of Corporations is what Liberals are for. You mean there’s no leftist left in the DNC.
For salaried workers.
Salary workers almost never get paid overtime and generally make more “per hour” than the standard hourly wage already anyway. Also, you literally cannot be forced to work more than 40 hrs a week when salaried. This is also the terms that are agreed to by both parties (usually by contract) before employment begins. Kind sounds to me like if you want to be a salaried employee AND make overtime, that you should negotiate that before beginning employment.
I’m not getting the argument here.
You definitely can be fired for not working more than 40 hours in any state with at-will employment. Or rather, you can be fired for no reason at all, and they don’t need to say it was because of the hours.
