Salaried employees who work long hours for low pay aren’t finding much sympathy among Republicans on Capitol Hill.
GOP lawmakers filed a resolution in Congress on Wednesday that would
💥block the Labor Department from extending overtime protections to millions of salaried workers, 💥a key workplace reform pursued by President Joe Biden.Under federal law, only certain workers have a right to time-and-a-half pay when they work more than 40 hours in a week. Currently, salaried workers must earn less than $35,568 per year to be automatically entitled to the overtime pay.
A new rule from the Labor Department, finalized in April, would raise that salary threshold to $58,656 per year, ⭐️bringing an estimated 4 million additional workers under the law’s protection. ⭐️
Employers would then have to pay those workers a premium when they work additional hours, whereas now they don’t have to pay them anything at all for that time.
The Labor Department estimates Biden's reform would transfer $1.5 billion a year from employers to employees in the form of higher wages.
👉But the GOP lawmakers have filed what’s known as a “👎resolution of disapproval👎” under the Congressional Review Act, which, if passed and signed into law,
🔥would nullify the reform. 🔥Rep. Tim #Walberg (R-Mich.) sponsored the resolution in the GOP-controlled House.
Forty Republican colleagues have joined him as co-sponsors as of Friday!!!
No Democrats have signed on to the legislation.
GOP Sen. Mike #Braun (Ind.) is leading the companion legislation in the Senate, where Democrats hold a bare majority.

#GOP Congressman Tim #Walberg is advocating for #genocide and is promoting the commission of #WarCrimes
P.S. The atomic bomb attacks on #Hiroshima and #Nagasaki were war crimes. Unfortunately, the US got away with it.
