Protect Overtime Pay
Even though both houses of Congress responded to citizen appeals and voted to block President Bush's overtime pay cuts, the president refuses to withdraw his proposal and says he will veto final legislation protecting overtime pay.
We still have a chance to stop Bush from taking away the overtime pay of some 8 million workers if we make our voices heard. Contact your U.S. senators and representative and tell them to protect overtime pay. For more information and to take action, click here.
