President Obama is preparing to do what the US economic recovery has been slow to accomplish: raise the wages of millions of Americans.

Read the link, this is about justice for everyday workers who are classified as managers by companies in order to deny them overtime pay. Obama is gonna change that. Great stuff.

Can't wait to hear the screaming from Fox and all their big business buddies.

4. I wonder can obama also change the rules for the EBT program to?

Say try and make a rule that any retailer that sales food that has over 200 employees of which more than 20% of its workforce is on EBT that the retailer cannot participate and process EBT payments? Might force more of the retailers to pay their workers better (like Walmart) rather than play the old low ball wage game that they are playing and profiting off of.

5. Great idea.

6. As one of those workers

who, at one time, has been classified as "management" and paid shitty wages without overtime, all I can say is that it is about damned time. This should never have been allowed. It was always a bullshit classification.

too bad I'm no longer working, or I would be reaping the benefits from this. Definitely overdue.
