Firms Support Revisions In Overtime Exemptions
I didn't think this was LBN because the $hit has not yet hit the fan yet.

If you currently qualify to receive overtime pay for your job, better check out the Department of Labor website www.dol.gov and see if the Fair Labor Standards Act -- with the * administration mandated "revisions" in overtime pay, put that little benny in jeopardy.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A58250-2004Jan28.html

The following shows another little sting the * administration has also dealt for the people who serve in the military.

"Some companies plan to take advantage of changes in the nation's overtime pay rules by using their workers' military training as a way to exempt them from the extra pay."

Wake Up America, the 40 hour workweek is about to become history

1. Welcome To The Fourth Reich, aka, New World Order!
Equalization of our standard of living with Mexico, South America and finally Red China! The Grand Mega-Capitalist plan the Rockefeller Repubs have been working on since unionization began over a hundred years ago! The Boss will shit on you and you wife and kids and your mother and father, ONLY, as long as you let him do it! Time to Organize like NEVER before!

2. A Freeper Boy gets educated
There is a Freeper boy (FB) in my group, and is as Pro Bush as my toilet paper is white.

We've been talking about FLSA in our office, and filing petitions because we know we are going to get our clocks cleaned. The company we work for has been very vocal about supporting the amendment.

The other day, someone asked FB about some time he was charging on an assignment. FB mentioned having to work some overtime, but he didn't claim it, and we told FB better claim that OT now because it will be soon gone.

FB says he had never heard about FLSA and the overtime pay amendment...of course he hadn't, little idiot has his head up *' a$$. But guess what he said after that, "I thought Bush was pro-family"...I almost went into a ROFL mode....

3. I'm running into more and more reeling drooling shaken up pubs!
I don't ever feel sorry for the lazy idiots! They play 'Pac Man' on their puters, while you use you puter time to learn! When the truth sneaks up on them and bites them in the a$$ pocket it is funny to see indeed!
