US workers to lose time and a half for overtime
In celebration of the working person's holiday, Secretary
of Labor Elaine Chao has announced the Bush
Administration's plan to end the 60-year-old law which
requires employers to pay time-and-a-half for overtime.
I'm sure you already knew that -- if you happened to have
run across page 15,576 of the Federal Register.
According to the Register, where the Bush Administration
likes to place it's little gifts to major campaign
donors, 2.7 million workers will lose their overtime pay
-- for a "benefit" of $1.53 billion. I put "benefit" in
quotes because, in the official cost-benefit ****ysis
issued by Bush's Labor Department, the amount employers
will now be able to slice out of workers' pockets is
tallied on the plus side of the rules change.

people nothing will..
