Fix Overtime Pay for America’s Workers

Secretary Thomas Perez, U.S. Department of Labor

Millions of Americans have been working overtime and not getting paid for it. The U.S. Department of Labor just unveiled new overtime eligibility rules that will restore overtime protections that have been weakened over the years. Now it needs to hear from us to make sure these new overtime rules provide even stronger protection for working people.

Fill out the form and tell the Department of Labor to strengthen protections for people working overtime hours.

I’m voicing my support for restoring overtime protections and giving working people a pay raise.

Over the past 40 years, overtime protections have been eroded by inflation and weakened by previous administrations. As a result, far too many of America’s workers are being paid nothing for their overtime work.

Please support and strengthen the new overtime eligibility rules. We need to restore overtime protections that have been lost since 1975, and we need to index these protections to keep them from being eroded again in the future. The administration's proposal is the least we can do.
