Coalition Urges Congress to Reject Department of Labor Overtime Rule
Posted by Print
In a letter sent to Congress today, the Center for Individual Freedom (“CFIF”) joined a coalition of 17 organizations to express “strong support for S. 2707 and H.R. 4773, the Protecting Workplace Advancement and Opportunity Act (PWAOA), and all efforts to defund, block, and otherwise nullify the Obama Administration’s effort to change our nation’s overtime rules.”

The letter, which was organized by the Competitive Enterprise Institute, reads in part, “The bills, sponsored by Senator Tim Scott (R-S.C.) and Congressman Tim Walberg (R-Mich.), respectively, would nullify the Department of Labor’s proposed overtime regulation. Specifically, the legislation requires the U.S. Secretary of Labor to conduct a thorough economic analysis on how updating overtime rules would affect small businesses and take into consideration cost-of-living differences across the country, among other research before proposing another overtime rule.”
