US Senator Proposes Bill To Eliminate Overtime For IT Workers
New submitter Talisman writes "Kay Hagan (D) from North Carolina has introduced a bill to the Senate that would eliminate overtime pay for IT workers."
The bill is targeted at salaried IT employees and those whose hourly rate is $27.63 or more. It seems comprehensive in its description of what types of IT work qualify — everything from analysis and consulting to design and development to training and testing. The bill even uses "work related to computers" as one of the guidelines.
to be kidding me. Let's see if we can get a vote up to lower THEIR pay.
That means I get to go home at six, right?
... and their site is down. If only they had some IT guys who could do overtime to bring it back up...

How could it not be specific? It's a law. What did you expect, "25-30 bucks or so?"

There are 5 senators, roughly half are Republican and half are Democrat. All are retarded.

Yeah, good luck to them getting anyone one to work on Senator's computers ever again. Email, internet, and computers frequently have problems. Nobody has to crash them... we just don't have to fix them once they do. A day without IT can be a real bitch, just like some Senators.
"Ah, gee, Senator. My shift ended at 5pm and I don't do overtime. Call back tomorrow between 8 and 5pm."

Coz eternity my friend, is a long *ing time.
It's safely invested in Greek, Italian and Spanish government bonds. They went with a conservative approach to investing.
Except for ending slavery, the Nazis, communism, & securing American independence, war has never solved anything.
Bring up Karl Marx before the Senate and see what kind of response you get.
It's better to vote for what you want and not get it than to vote for what you don't want and get it.

Right here, on my left front pocket.

Tea party members do not refer to themselves as "tea baggers"
Because after you started calling yourselves that, you were told what it means. If I wanted to form a special interest party dedicated to improving the American citrus farming industry, and chose a lemon as my sigil, I really couldn't get mad when my group was called the Lemon Party, now could I?
