Unions Decry Proposed OT Rule
Organized labor orchestrated a protest on the Labor Department's front lawn Monday in a last-ditch attempt to block a proposed rule that, according to union officials, would sharply expand the number of workers exempted from receiving overtime pay.
The labor demonstration came on the final day for public comment on a proposed rule published by the Labor Department three months ago. The rule, which the department expects to put into effect by next year, would broaden the definition of workers exempt from overtime pay to include any employee in a "position of responsibility" -- a definition that opponents say too many workers fill.------------------------------------------- posted 5:14 AM :: reference link ::
