vote in republicans, lose money - Millions may now lose eligibility for overtime after ruling
A rule put in place by President Obama to expand eligibility for overtime pay to millions of workers may be on life support.
A federal judge in Texas, ruling in two cases brought by business groups and 21 states challenging the rule's validity, issued a preliminary injunction stopping the rule from taking effect on December 1.
The indefinite postponement will stand until the judge renders his decision on the cases.
