Will you still support Bush when less and less money is going into your pocket, and he's giving himself and his friends raises?

This Tuesday, September 9, 2003, the U.S. Senate will vote on whether to stop what could be the biggest pay cut in U.S. history.
On March 31, 2003, the Bush Department of Labor (DOL) issued proposed regulations under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (FLSA). The FLSA
established the norm of a 40-hour work week. If you work more than 40 hours a week, you should receive pay at time-and-a-half for the extra hours.
Congress passed the FLSA to urge employers to spread work around and not to exploit the workers they have. But it did not extend the right to overtime
pay to professionals, executives, and administrators, on the theory they can take care of themselves.
