Original Message In a shocking new salvo in their war on workers, House Republicans have passed a bill that repeals mandatory overtime pay.

Yes, you read that right. House Republicans have decided that hourly workers have it too cushy when they receive extra money for working extended hours. So, this week they passed the so-called "Working Families Flexibility Act," which gives business owners the flexibility of not paying hourly workers a higher hourly rate for overtime work.

Doing that would take money out of the pockets of every full-time hourly employee in the country, and put that same money in pockets of business owners.
