Republican lawmakers in Congress are trying to block a rule that would
00:04
make more people eligible for overtime pay.
00:07
The Biden administration announced the change in April making salaried workers who
00:12
make up to 58,000 a year eligible for overtime.
00:16
Right now. Only workers who make up to 35,000 a year
00:19
are able to receive overtime pay.
00:21
Damn. But the GOP had to ruin the fund.
00:23
Republicans signed a resolution of disapproval to stop the rule but Biden
00:28
could still veto if push comes to shove either way,
00:31
the new overtime pay rule could still face challenges in court.
00:35
So this new rule would mean more than $1 billion in wages
00:41
would be transferred to employees and would mostly impact women and people
00:46
of color. But Republicans say it would cause layoffs and inflation
00:50
J Republicans really be the biggest haters like how are you
00:53
going to stop overtime pay?
00:55
They don't care till it affects them.
00:56
That's what it is like,
00:57
let me fuck around with your overtime pay.
01:00
I bet you they start scrambling.
01:01
I just don't understand.
01:02
I mean, people are putting in the work so it's not
01:05
like it's, they're just handing out free money.
01:07
But I guess we'll see how it goes.
