When people work longer hours at less pay, they are more tired, less efficient, more prone to accidents, and are living less fulfilling lives. Overtime laws mean that it is cheaper for an employer to hire another employee then to force a few empolyees to continually work longer hours. This is a valuable check on employment, it means that empolyers aren’t tempted to take the quick fix, and it means that employees are fairly compensated when they work extra. Naturally, overtime protection must be eliminated. Is there anything the Bush administration won’t do? Oh, why do I even ask such naive questions…
