Working Families Flexibility Act – VOICE YOUR OPINION

 

Except for the few exceptions there is a greater percentage of us that are paid by the hour.  Republicans are once again trying to push the so-called “comp time” legislation. Translated-longer hours for less pay. This would cut the much depended overtime pay from these hourly paid workers. This bill was introduced on April 9, 2013 by Rep. Roby Martha [R-AL-2] in hopes to amend the Fair Standards Act of 1938. If you are living on a shoestring now, the attached pieces on Republican bill (H.R.1406) you need to read.
