    How is it that a third world country Ike mine pays overtime pay to all employees who work beyond the standard 8 hour work day. 25% of the hourly rate is added to the hours of overtime, plus a night differential rate if you work past 11 pm. +30% if you have to do work during a holiday.

    Not being paid for overtime work is very slavery to me.

    The reasoning of the judge is because the companies will have to pay billions in OT pay. Fuck them.

    If the US is not a third-world country, then why do they do so many third-world country things?

    Obviously a little late for this administration, but could the next liberal admin try beating them to the punch on this? Are there no liberal friendly judicial districts? Have one of those file a weak lawsuit to uphold the law. Then that could at least be referenced when they attack in a red area.

      The problem is there aren’t enough actual liberals left in the DNC. The majority of the DNC is more than happy to screw over workers to the benefit of corporations. What resistance they provide is mostly performative, as their real priorities are dictated by what the large corporate donors are paying for.

      The problem is SCOTUS. Anything reaching them is going to come down on the Republican side.
