Related: About this forumThe Democratic Establishment just secured a raise for millions of American workers
President Obama wrote this message to petition signers to announce that the Department of Labor will be finalizing a rule that expands overtime pay to millions of American workers.
I wanted you to be the first to know about some important news on an issue I know you care deeply about: making sure you're paid fairly.
Tomorrow, we're strengthening our overtime pay rules to make sure millions of Americans' hard work is rewarded. If you work more than 40 hours a week, you should get paid for it or get extra time off to spend with your family and loved ones. It's one of most important steps we're taking to help grow middle-class wages and put $12 billion more dollars in the pockets of hardworking Americans over the next 10 years.
For generations, overtime protections have meant that an honest day's work should get a fair day's pay, and that's helped American workers climb the ladder of success. That's what middle-class economics are all about. But after years of inflation and lobbyists' efforts to weaken overtime protections, that security has eroded for too many families...........

There are links to the guidelines about who qualifies in there. (You know, guidelines. Those are like rules. Rules are those things the Democratic establishment likes to use to keep stuff organized )
