America's tired masses By Susan Ives
FRIDAY, Oct. 24, was Take Back Your Time Day, a dismal reminder that we work too much. I would have given you the heads-up sooner, but I was busy.
The White House has been pushing a change to the Fair Labor Standards Act to exempt employers from paying overtime to some workers.
The administration estimates the proposed rules would affect 644,000 workers; others peg it at closer to 8 million. The AFL-CIO speculates the removal of the time-and-a-half disincentive would encourage employers to overwork current staff rather than hire more people.
