AFL-CIO Runs TV Ads Opposing Bush Attempt to Slash Overtime Pay The Bush Administration's proposed change to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) would disqualify up to more than eight million workers from their right to overtime pay, according to the nonpartisan Economic Policy Institute. The changes would affect a broad range of workers, including nurses, journalists, police, cooks, secretaries, firefighters, dental hygienists, administrative workers, paralegals and more. The rules would broaden the exceptions to the overtime law, thus making it easier for employers to avoid paying overtime pay. In addition, virtually all workers earning more than $65,000 would be denied overtime protection.
