Strong-armed by President Bush, members of the US Senate last week backed off a filibuster against this year's government spending bill they were holding up because it failed to block the Bush overtime pay take-away. Bush had threatened to veto the bill if it included an overtime pay protection guarantee for America's workers, even though both houses of Congress voted to block the overtime pay cuts in earlier votes. The Bush Labor Department is expected to announce an implementation date for the overtime pay take-away before March 1st.
We CAN win protection for overtime pay and good jobs if your voice is amplified by the voices of millions of other Americans. So today we are asking you to bring more people into the fight to protect overtime pay. We're ramping up the Petititon to Save Overtime Pay with a new push to collect signatures and ask new people to join this fight. Please click on the link below to sign the petition if you have not yet signed it.
