U.S. senators will vote today on a measure that could be their last chance to block President Bush's overtime pay take-away before it is finalized and becomes a pay cut for millions of America's workers. Tonight, President Bush will deliver his State of the Union address while millions of workers wait to see how the Bush overtime pay take-away will hurt them. We all know that overtime pay is what many of us depend on for the everyday things that help us get by.

Unless something extraordinary happens, the vote will happen today, Jan. 20. The Bush overtime pay take-away is an attack on the 40-hour workweek as well as on our paychecks. Regardless of what he says in the State of the Union--the Labor Department advised employers how to get out of paying overtime pay to low-wage workers and plans to take-away overtime pay from millions.
Please spread the word about the Bush overtime pay take-away to your friends, family and co-workers. The Bush attempt to take hard-earned pay from America's workers-and give employers this unfair break--is a scandal you can help expose.
