President Bush is about to finalize changes in the laws governing overtime pay that could take away overtime protections from at least 8 million people. His changes will cut paychecks for families, erode the 40-hour workweek and encourage employers to require more overtime work. The changes include a new "military penalty" that would allow employers to use military training as the basis for cutting overtime pay. Please sign the online petition opposing President Bush's overtime pay take-away by clicking on the link below. http://www.saveovertimepay.org/ We all need to get involved before these important workplace protections are hurt. Thanks. I hope this hasn't already been posted - but if so - it'll bring the dead back to life - Steve
