When President Obama's plan to expand overtime protections to millions more workers goes into effect, one surprising group might be left out: Capitol Hill staffers. Even though many congressional staffers make less than the $50,440 a year under which salaried workers would be eligible for overtime pay, Congress would need to agree to give it to them. But Republicans don't want to talk about that—they're still deciding how hard to go after the nationwide overtime expansion:
“When it becomes final, we could consider overturning it. And we’ll consider doing that,” Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), the chairman of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, said about the broader overtime rule in a brief interview. Obama’s directive is “a very bad rule.”
Alexander cautioned: “We haven’t made a decision yet.”
The new rule would allow virtually all workers who make below $50,440 per year to get overtime pay. Republicans have largely denounced the proposal, arguing that it encourages employers to cut hours to skirt the rule and reduces worker flexibility. But the GOP has yet to mount a robust push for a new law to override Obama’s directive.
with all the lies we've been fed by republicans the last 7 years have you noticed they all have been leaning to killing something that Pres. wanted to pass giving American citizens a better life in essence denying you that better life they enjoy with your tax money in other words we're paying them rent to keep us in their box. today Pres. is still working toward we the peoples well being and republicans well they are working to reject it.
some are just to blind to see it's coming their way too, so they vote for the one's who support their fears and hates btw the same fears and hates planted by those they see as their salvation to liberal laws that respect and protect all that makes them more willing to deprive others than gain themselves that is the sick being led by sicker persons. and the base claps on.
