Proposed Changes in Overtime Rules

The Labor Department proposal would raise the income level for which workers are eligible for overtime, thereby enabling some 1.3 million additional low-wage workers to receive overtime pay. But unions and other opponents of the proposal say the plan doesn’t raise the income level high enough and that up to 8 million workers could lose overtime pay under the proposal and be required to work longer hours for no additional pay.
The guests responded to audience telephone calls, faxes and electronic mail.
