A contract is a contract.
The administration is yet again posed to override existing agreements between employers and employees.
Liberals can never leave well enough alone, their ideology must to be shoved down the throat of everyone, whether they like it or not.

Fascism.

Ie socialism via govt regulation/rules. When things go good govt takes credit. When things go bad govt blames private business.

One good thing about Obama’s E.Os., They are temporary, they can all be revoked with one stroke of President Trump’s pen.

As a professional, if I would have been paid for the “overtime” I did in the 90’s, I would definitely be retired by now.

Obama does not have the power to do this, he would need Congress to pass a bill that he could sign into law, and for that to happen would be like the Republican-controlled House AND the Republican controlled Senate giving a communist enemy everything he wants...

Wait a minute....

Never mind.

I wonder what effect if any this would have on imported labor. That’s how he can get the republicans to go along.

If they make imported labor exempt, well you know.

Desperate moves by a desperate administration.

Nothing that they do will stop the economy and the dollar from crashing.

Perhaps they should quit trying, let the chips fall where they may, and let us rebuild a free republic on their ashes.

Amazing how easy it is to give away the money of others.

Especially when the giver has never had a real job that he (it) is qualified for.
