Don't Sell Us Short on Overtime
U.S. Congressman Kurt Schrader
Congressman Kurt Schrader is pushing a bill in Congress which will change how the new overtime law works - including some bad changes for working people.
The bill being pushed by Congressman Schrader would delay the start of the new law and would get rid of an important provision that indexes the threshold requirements for overtime pay to account for wage growth. That's not a step forward for working people, it's a step backward. And we can't afford to keep going in the wrong direction.
Sign the petition today and tell Congressman Schrader not to sell us short on overtime.

Representative Schrader,
Please do not delay the implementation of our country's new overtime law, and do not eliminate the indexing provision.
Working people are already counting on this law to help make ends meet. By delaying it, and by removing the provision which indexes overtime pay, we could be left behind.
