State Republicans to bring back 7 Day work week...completely voluntary?

Ed Schultz talked to John Nichols and Wisconsin Jobs Now's Jennifer Epps-Addison about the GOP's not so clever way to workaround raising the minimum wage, by allowing labor to give up their weekends for more pay.

The only thing is, then they have to pay you overtime after 40 hours.

I'm pretty sure what they mean is they want to make it so you can work all those hours for the same pay.
