Action Alert: Overtime Pay in Jeopardy!
Everyone deserves to be paid fairly for their work. Yet recently introduced federal legislation allows employers to offer compensatory time off to workers in place of normal time-and-a-half overtime pay.

These proposed changes would threaten workers with unpredictable work schedules and no monetary compensation for any extra hours worked. Details and more info at:
