Overtime
I noticed that CNN has a report today:

"A Senate battle on overtime pay is erupting in the midst of a corporate tax bill designed to end a trade dispute with Europe and cut taxes for American manufacturers. ............
Opponents say the changes would cost 8 million workers their overtime pay."


http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/03/24/taxes.overtime.ap/index.html

Can anyone elighten me on the overtime issue and who is going to get scre**d in the process?

AFL-CIO on this, maybe you could check out their website...

Just more favors for corporations is how I read it...

4. Heh, I hear ya. There was also something about DOL giving advice
to companies on how to best take advantage of the new rules. Someone had posted an article on DU a month or so ago.

Maybe someone will remember and dig that up.
