With HHS, IRS and Treasury issuing rule-making and waivers, the plain language of the law is being ignored. But, since no one in Congress seems to care, and sine Dems stood up and cheered during the State of the Union when Obama stated he planned to circumvent them, I guess no one will challenge this.

There is this thing called the Fair Labor Standards Act that determines when and how overtime is paid. But, if a Pres has a pen and a phone, who cares? |
And that act is not worth crap. When we were first married Florence was manager of a 7000 sq ft dress shop. She would put in 10 or 12 hour days and never got OT. One day she made the mistake of asking me what I thought of her job. I suggested she tell them to shove it. Then the area manager spread the story that he had to fire her because she was having problems. I called his boss and offered to give the little fart the horse whipping he deserved at high noon in the Mall. They trasferred him out of the area and eventually closed the shop (for the simple reason we found all the good staff jobs elsewhere.)
Face it this country does not have any worthwhile labour laws, they still believe that bond servants are legal, and you know that Mike.
