The individuals that I know do not get overtime until they've worked 40 hours. Just because the system isn't always operating properly doesn't mean we should crucify people.

Right, that's how it works...overtime after 40 hours. I agree about the "crucifying." Some even work 54 hours in four days, not just for the money, but to cover where help is needed.

...but I do seem to see a lot of behavior (like knocking blue collar workers) that smacks of elitism which is what we hate so much about the Left.

Yep, snobs come in all stripes, even conservative ones.

Wait until the ripple effect starts from those towns where the factories are closing. It will ripple out to everything...from McDonald's to selling cable TV to not having houses remodeled.

You are right, Madison. The auto industry is a huge part (and barometer) of the US economy.

Wait for retail results after the Holidays are over.
