When did we become a nation of "rules"?
How can the labor department make rules that have the force of law?
Employers with the help of State Governors need to tell the labor dept to fuck off until congress votes and this is signed into law.
If I'm reading this correctly this is no little thing. This is going to have MAJOR impact on peoples lives.
The rule has been in existence for about half a century.
Obama just moved the threshold for being considered exempt from $22K up to $47K.
It will have a big impact. Just like the decision that franchisors can be held accountable independent franchisees labor decisions. Small business owners lose in both cases.
