The DOL is proposing a new rule that if you make more than $22,000 a year, your employer is able to declare you non-eligible for overtime. Then, the employer is able to work you as many hours as they want and never pay you an extra penny. The head of the Federal Wage and Hour Department claims the law is being set up to reduce the number of lawsuits filed by employees about overtime. The reason given was to modernize labor rules, but in truth it’s about making it legal to force people as many hours as bosses want. Thankfully, there is a comment period for this outrageous law. So, it’s imperative that you post your comments at the DOL Web site. Scroll down and you will see an e-mail, fax number and regular address to write to. This is the kind of thing that only can go through in darkness, and we nee to shed some light on it.

True....but I wanted to announce it. Writing your senator or congressman works believe it or not.
