And this is fun - The Labor Dept. is unilaterally planning to institute new rules governing overtime - rules that may exclude 8 million workers from OT pay:

According to the EPI study, which used Labor Department and General Accounting Office data about worker pay and qualifications, the total effect of the three changes is to exclude at least 8.025 million workers from overtime -- and probably more, the study said, since the EPI only looked at 78 of the 257 "white collar" occupations identified by the Labor Department.

Not only that, but they have held no public hearings on the issue and CANCELLED the AFL-CIO's paid reservation for a hearing. The public comment period expires Monday.
