it apears that 6 million workers are currently not getting overtime pay...
but your title suggests that 6 million people have it now, but will lose it thanks to bush...
That's the way I took it, I could be wrong though... :-/

No, that is incorrect. Here's the way it is.....the Bush admin put out a proposal that would reclassify who currently is elegible for overtime based on if they were considered professional, administrative, or executive. The original proposal was estimated that 8 million people would then not be qualified for overtime. They knew this wouldnt pass so they revised the proposal a little, and now the current proposal is estimated that 6 million would not qualify for overtime.
