The Bush administration's reduction of overtime rights may be finalized as soon as this Tuesday, sources on the Hill report. The new regulations governing overtime pay could HREF="http://www.ibew.org/stories/03daily/0304/030402_overtime.htm"> eliminate overtime rights for many workers. Although the Department of Labor only recently HREF="http://www.aflcio.org/yourjobeconomy/overtimepay/ns03302004.cfm">sent its final rule to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for its review, which could hold the rule for up to 90 days, Hill sources say that the OMB review is complete and that the final rule will be published as early as Tuesday, April 20. Senate Democrats are attempting to halt the administration's overtime regulation in an amendment to a bill that would repeal export tax breaks ruled illegal by the World Trade Organization. That bill has stalled yet again, as Republicans have unsuccessfully attempted to force an end to debate. The GOP's new strategy is to refer to the overtime corrective and other Democratic amendments as mere "message amendments" needlessly stalling deliberation of the export tax bill. The same bill has stalled in the House as well, as House Democrats accuse the replacement tax breaks for firms working abroad as abetting the off-shoring of American jobs.
