Veto H.R. 1406 "Working Families Flexibility Act". Undermines Labor laws. Forces mandatory overtime for less pay.

Created by K.O. on May 14, 2013

1. “Comp Time” means a pay cut.

2. “Comp Time” means mandatory overtime.

3. “Comp Time” means more unpredictable work schedules for employees.

"This legislation undermines the existing right to hard-earned overtime pay, on which many working families rely to make ends meet, while misrepresenting itself as a workplace flexibility measure that gives power to employees over their own schedules." - Judith Lichtman, senior adviser with the National Partnership for Women & Families.
