[ETERNAL WARMING]

Essentially, employees would be working more hours for the same pay.

And boy will that make the US productivity numbers look great.

Without the EMPLOYER, the EMPLOYEE wouldn't have a job to begin with. The EMPLOYER decides what the EMPLOYEE is worth, not the other way around. If the EMPLOYEE doesn't like it, he/she doesn't have to work for said, EMPLOYER. It's not that hard to understand.

If the EMPLOYEE is worth more, I would suggest that MANY EMPLOYERS will be more than happy to pay EMPLOYEE the requested amount.

I'm sure the UNION BOSSES are making less than almost all of the EMPLOYEES. /sarcasm

Pure crap and mostly lies.

The IRS has strict rules on who can be declared "exempt" from overtime laws. They are usually ignored for higher paid "white collar workers" who are paid salary regardless of the rules. Not blue collar, hourly workers.

These are typical lies printed in the press that distort or ignore the facts. It's like the lies about arsenic in the water, Halliburton, "imminent threat", yellow cake from Niger, cut in combat pay, cuts in veteran benefits, etc.
