This is huge.
#Biden’s #DepartmentOfLabor has a new #overtime rule proposal up for public comment. It will make all of the millions of folk who make less than $55,000/year eligible for #TimeAndAHalf pay when they work more than 40 hours per week.
It also makes #workers who are not really #managers who make less than $143,988 (bottom 85% of all #working folk) eligible for overtime.
Finally…automatic updates for inflation etc. every 3 years.
Wow!
The #Biden administration’s #TreasuryDepartment just released a game changing report on #laborunions.
Effects of increased #unionization are positive and huge for the #economy and for the entire #society:
- more earnings for #union members
and nonmembers alike
- increased overall satisfaction
- increased societal participation
- increased societal stability
- decreased inequality
and much, much more.

This is huge!
If a company illegally tries to suppress union organizing or interfere with any other labor union activity it will be forced to immediately recognize the union.
“The #NationalLaborRelationsBoard just made it a whole lot harder to #unionbust.”
