Overtime pay: Bush wins, workers lose

Back in July I posted about the Bush administration’s effort to remove overtime pay protection for up to 8 million US workers. Well it seems they got what they wanted. The administration pressured the Republican-controlled Congress into dropping an amendment which would have prevented Bush’s new overtime rules from taking effect.

I don’t care what Oliver Kamm thinks; our President– despite doing the right thing in Iraq– does not embody “the finest ideals of the liberal Left.”
