It's a bad thing and many people who depend on overtime are not voting for him because of this. He's not for the working class that's for sure.

BTW... in our city, Union men make the beer you're probably enjoying right now. If you think this doesn't effect the men who've worked at places like AB their whole life.. wake up.
They aren't 'doing away' with unions or even propsing that.. they just want to 'reorganize' so companies can make a higher profit at the expense of the worker. AT AB, you have to work a certain amount of OT. You HAVE to, especially at Xmas. That won't change just because you dont' have to be paid for it. It's going to hurt families if this goes into effect.

Not all Union men are "inbreds". That's a very shortsided statement. The hotel industry is union, there's the resturant workers union.. It's not just dumb dockworkers this will effect.

Real people with real families, kids in college, mortages, lives are who will be ef fected. Whether or not any one agree with unions, is irrelevent to this proposal.

how about those health care numbers.. name one person that you know that was denied medical treatment b/c they could not pay the bill???? anyway...lets stick to the subject here

this is not about any union people loosing anything.. its about administrators, professionals, and excutives on salaries not qualifying for OT... it will not effect the lazy union worker who does his daily quota... and collects his over inflated paycheck...

but just like the liberal who started this thread, they will twist and turn the words around to make it all look like G.W.Bush is to blame...

last time i checks the executive office does not write laws???

and Clinton signed in NAFTA.. which moved lots of jobs to other coutries ;)
