BlueEyedMonster 0 #27 July 2, 2003 Quote Hope you don't get paid overtime, because Bush is going to modify the rules for overtime pay. And he's trying to pull it off quietly in a way that avoids congress and gee look... The time for pubic comment has expired. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muenkel 0 #28 July 2, 2003 Quote Hope you don't get paid overtime, because Bush is going to modify the rules for overtime pay. Fortunately and Thanks be to God, I do not have any financial issues to worry about, far from it. So I'm not really worried about the overtime issue. I know, that sounds selfish, but the truth is the "overtime issue" does not apply to the lower wage earners. It's actually the higher wage earners. Imagine that...Mr. Bush going after the rich.

Imagine that...Mr. Bush going after the rich. $23,000 a year does not qualify you as a "higher wage earner" That is still fast food wages... and low end help desk people. And contractors like me that make more than that, but rely on the OT. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 3,116 #33 July 2, 2003 >but the truth is the "overtime issue" does not apply to the lower wage earners. What???? The people making $200K+ a year get a salary. Overtime applies primarily to hourly employees, people who punch a time clock. They are generally the lower wage earners. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chris Yes but they have a responsibility. If they pull too much crap like this... Unions will benefit from backlash and get too powerful... and then the worst conceivable thing ever could happen.... We might end up like FRANCE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah if it wasn't for skydiving I'd be putting a grand away a month into a savings account. But.... why should good cash sit around when there is jump tickets to be purchased? Quite honestly. You take away overtime, and you take away my jump $$$ I don't spend my money... and the economy is not stimulated... and recession recession recession.

Muenkel 0 #40 July 2, 2003 No, not 2 points for skreamer. When I said I don't have any financial issues to worry about, I meant exactly that. AFF, skydiving and everything that goes along with it. Contrary to what a lot of people think, not all skydivers are poor. Chris _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
