moveon.org aired an advertisement about how bush wants to stop workers from being paid overtime. i am looking thru their website for a follow-up or something of that sort and cant find it.

does anybody know of a link to a good read about this?

choose another subject then because you won't find anything unbiased when politics are involved.

"The new rules apply to white-collar workers only, and not to blue-collar workers -- such as those in production, construction and similar industries or occupations covered by collective bargaining aggreements -- which are covered by a different set of federal regulations."

"White collar" doesn't mean "rich" though. It just means they work at an office. They could be making like 60 grand and trying to support a family of 8 for all we know.

MoveOn.org is probably the most baised source of anything you could ever imagine.

Talk about Spinning and Twisting crap. Arf.

You can find information on what they were talking about through the other more corporate baised-media outlets and it'll be more informative than MoveOn.org.
