New overtime rules go into effect December 1st. - Hbombtiger STL - 10/22 14:34:16

overtime rules are just as stupid as the min wage and child - El-ahrairah KC - 10/22 16:31:30

This is an awful rule. More punative policies - Ferg STL - 10/22 15:21:20

Or simply making sure workers are compensated - Hbombtiger STL - 10/22 15:43:11

or, let market forces determine compensation. - Ferg STL - 10/22 15:46:51

The threshold hadn't been moved since the 70s! (nm) - Hbombtiger STL - 10/22 15:48:43

So? There should be no threashold to begin with. - Ferg STL - 10/22 15:50:24

You live in a fantasy land. This has little effect on - Hbombtiger STL - 10/22 15:55:26

If it has little impact, why do it? - Ferg STL - 10/22 15:58:42

To ensure that if you work overtime, employees get paid for - Hbombtiger STL - 10/22 16:01:12

There is one thing that is ensured when government mandates - ummmm MU - 10/22 16:08:11

I work more than 40 hrs and I don't expect to get - Ferg STL - 10/22 16:04:20

I would imagine you make a better wage than $24k a year - Hbombtiger STL - 10/22 16:08:52

People who make $24K a year are generally speaking - ummmm MU - 10/22 16:12:00

The "threshold" should have never existed (nm) - ummmm MU - 10/22 15:49:54

That is certainly not your preference - ummmm MU - 10/22 15:48:17

*some* workers. - ummmm MU - 10/22 15:45:53

Agreed this will hurt big business - johncoffey MU - 10/22 15:34:56

It will hurt some employees, the most - ummmm MU - 10/22 15:44:36

It hurts NO one! Employees should be compensated - Hbombtiger STL - 10/22 15:56:26

It hurts *some* workers - ummmm MU - 10/22 15:57:49

Or employees as employers shift to more part time workers(nm) - TigerMatt MU

- 10/22 15:39:11

This, because Dems are too stupid to understand economics. - Coors4bob MU - 10/22 15:41:44

And the real point: they can't bribe people for votes if - GA Tiger MU - 10/22 15:48:48

Lol It won't shift to more part time workers - Hbombtiger STL - 10/22 15:46:43

Lol, smdh, tell that to min wage workers in areas where it - STL1DFW STL - 10/22 19:43:31

If it costs an employer more to pay one person for 50 hours - ummmm MU - 10/22 15:56:36

That's already the case, so once again, it changes nothing (nm) - Hbombtiger STL - 10/22 16:00:49

you keep saying it changes nothing, then why - Ferg STL - 10/22 16:02:41

I already answered you above. (nm) - Hbombtiger STL - 10/22 16:03:46

It adds more people into the pool of employees which are - ummmm MU - 10/22 16:02:00

No, it really doesn't. (nm) - Hbombtiger STL - 10/22 16:04:01

Well, of course it does, it nearly doubles the "threshold"(nm) - ummmm MU - 10/22 16:05:13

and for all the "libertarianism is me-first" idiots - pickle MU

- 10/22 14:52:05

ad-hom fallacy (mm) - Lothar MU - 10/22 15:18:52

That is not an ad hom (nm) - ummmm MU - 10/22 15:46:38

It is. It's what pickle does. (nm) - Lothar MU - 10/22 19:01:22

not an ad hom (nm) - pickle MU

- 10/22 19:12:49
