Millions of Trump voters just basically voted to cut their pay.

[MarathonMike]

Several threads on this subject already. Multiple problems with this narrative. First and foremost a pay CUT is a reduction in either your hourly rate or your salary. That is not what this is about, so as usual we have the Left creating a false narrative.

For example If your boss reduces your Christmas bonus from 1000 dollars to 500 dollars or chooses not to give you a bonus, that is not a pay CUT.

In my career I have worked overtime for free, for a capped rate LOWER than my straight rate, at straight rate and for time and a half. Every company is different and if you force legislation on companies for all of them to pay time and a half it won't end well for the workers.

 

[TooTall]

Actually, Trump had nothing at all to do with it. Don't allow the truth to stand in the way. It was a federal judge. You whimpering butt hurt Liberals need to understand that Trump has not as yet been sworn into office. Trump is still just a private citizen.

Thats why the title says he's SET to make those changes indicating that he's hasnt done it yet. Its right there in the title, theres no need to repeat it and get mad about it

"Under a Republican plan" is also in the title and it has nothing to do with what a federal judge has already done.

Thats why he didnt mention the federal judge either. Now you're getting it

All I see is an attempt to blame Trump for something that hasn't even happened yet. It is merely an attempt by a President to dictate the wages that private companies pay their employees and that is not in his job description.

No one blamed Trump because again it says he is SET to do it. Not that he HAS done it. But if its in his plan to do it dont you believe that plan is not a good plan for those who rely on time and a half overtime?

I mean is time and a half bad now?

It is up to the states to regulate the labor laws in each state. I live in a right to work state and have been paid time and a half many times. As a salaried Engineer I have also worked overtime for free.

Notice how many libtard headlines start out "if this is true".

Democrats will never stop lying. It's a disease and it is terminal.

Tom Bonier, the CEO of the polling firm TargetSmart, noted on Twitter that one of the first of many regulations that Trump and House Republicans are looking to repeal will be President Obama’s hard-fought rule that ensures time-and-a-half overtime pay for workersmaking less than $47,000 a year.

If this is true, millions just got hoodwinked

No......

more left wing stupidity on how jobs actually work..........

Three Ways Obama’s New Overtime Rule Hurts the Economy and Workers

Most bad policies harm the economy in one identifiable way. But the Labor Department’s new overtime rule, released on May 18, harms the economy and the American worker in three different ways.

The new rule requires employers to pay white-collar workers overtime if they earn less than $47,476 annually, instead of less than $23,660, the case at present. (Manual workers generally have to be paid overtime at all earnings levels.) The effect will be (1) to raise costs to employers, discouraging employment; (2) to prohibit flexible time for employees; and (3) to stunt American productivity and economic growth.

Consider Rob, an analyst at a consulting firm, who earns a salary of $45,000 a year. Now if he works late one night he can come in later the following day, or take extra time off. He can duck out of the office to attend his child’s kindergarten concert. He can come home for dinner and catch up with his work in the evenings.

With the Labor Department’s new overtime rule, effective December 1, this will change. Along with others who make under $47,476 annually, Rob will have to keep track of his hours by clocking in and out. Because of the need to track hours, telecommuting will be difficult. If he works longer one week then his employer will not be legally allowed to give him “comp time” (time off instead of the extra hours), but will have to pay him overtime instead.

Not that Rob will necessarily earn more than what he is making now. Either Rob’s employer will make sure he never works more than 40 hours in a week, or his rate of base pay will be lowered to make up for the extra hours worked.

The Labor Department’s new salary test means only that Rob is “protected” with the right to time-and-a-half pay rate for any hours worked over 40 per week, but he never works over 40 hours, it is an empty benefit. Most workers affected never get the chance to work over 40 hours per week. The administration estimates that about 4.2 million workers would qualify for overtime in 2017.

The administration touts the overtime rule as a device to raise the incomes of workers, but their own analysis calculates only $1.2 billion annual increase in wages of affected workers. The real effect of the rule will be to add significant administrative costs.

One cost is familiarization, the initial time and effort that each employer must expend to understand the requirements and assess what needs to be done.

A second cost is the initial wage classification adjustment costs. Firms need to identify each employee affected by the higher salary test, to decide for each case whether to raise their salary to the new threshold or to convert the status to non-exempt hourly. In the case of conversions, there will be further effort to determine what base hourly rate to establish and what usual hours requirement and policies to set for assignment and approval of overtime hours.

A third cost is management costs. Workers converted from salaried to hourly status will require additional management supervision time for checking time records and for approval of overtime hours.

You know, this is regarding salaried employees, right? And a judge put an injunction on Obama's directive. He once again tried to legislate with his pen.

I'm not even talking about the Judge or Obama here.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

If one is an hourly paid worker and is asked to work overtime, then the pay is time and a half correct? This law only applies to salaried workers? Then it makes more sense. We all agree 47 grand isn't much in the end but if one settles for something that low then I guess their skill set holds them back from decent pay.

No, not all hourly is regulated to pay time and a half. My industry isn't, and I don't believe employees subject to accept tips are not either such as a waiter or waitress.

The drivers of the ObamaEconomy: Unemployment, food stamps and part time work

Try putting that on someones plate when they get hungry from not receiving time and a half. Essentially this is so indefensible the only option you have is to complain about liberals and ignore that liberals arent the only people who earn time and a half pay.

Obama's $10 Trillion debt has done more damage to the economy that anyone dared to dream

 

[Vandalshandle]

This is where the fun begins. "Trump Dumps on Chumps!" Should we start here, or when he announced that he is not going to throw Hillary in jail? No? Well, what about him deciding that he is not going to repeal Obamacare? Well, then there was that climate change agreement that he may not renege on. Then, of course, there is the wall, that is really a fence.

Has anyone noticed that Trump's nose seems to be getting longer, sort of like Nixon's?

Or Obama's?

Wait and see what he does before criticizing him. Right now there is civil unrest in several places across the country. The last thing Trump wants to be responsible for his putting gas on the fire. Once he's sworn in and the clueless figure out there is nothing more they can do, they'll get off the streets and go home, and then Trump can carry out what he wants to do.

Since Trump is not waiting until he is president to back out of all his campaign promises, I see no particular reason to wait until he is president before calling him out for doing so.....

20 Million Trump Voters Set To Take HUGE Pay Cut Under Republican Plan

So all 20 million are on salary, huh?

 

[aris2chat]

rubes about to bend over and grab ankles


Donald Trump won his sweeping electoral victory on the backs of white working class voters, who were frustrated with Washington politics and believed that a drastic change would make their lives better. Unfortunately, in an entirely predictable turn of events, it appears their lives are about to get much worse.

Tom Bonier, the CEO of the polling firm TargetSmart, noted on Twitter that one of the first of many regulations that Trump and House Republicans are looking to repeal will be President Obama’s hard-fought rule that ensures time-and-a-half overtime pay for workers making less than $47,000 a year.



20 Million Trump Voters Set To Take HUGE Pay Cut Under Republican Plan


Trump Presidency Could Mean Cuts to Overtime Pay Rule

Because it is an executive action of Obama and his magic pen??

If it involves abuse by federal workers, it should be looked at. In the private sector, it would not have needed a magic pen

Obama's $10 Trillion debt has done more damage to the economy that anyone dared to dream

No, it was pretty much expected. After Bush passed the Bust tax cuts costing trillions in revenue and the GOP helped business move millions of jobs to China and close over 43,000 factories which cost trillions more, and the unpaid for wars costing trillions, the US lost all that revenue. When you knock all the revenue from the US government, the only way it could still run in by borrowing. And Republicans blocked anything Obama tried to do to raise revenue or pay down the debt.

You would have to be a total tard to not know that. Not only was the history fairly recent, but Republicans boasted about doing it.

Unemployment benefits: not until Bush tax cuts pass, Senate GOP says

Republicans held millions of Republicans who lost their jobs under their GOP leadership hostage and that president couldn't let Republicans suffer because he was president for all Americans. Even when they wanted him destroyed. He is better than they are, obviously.

Millions of Donald Trump voters to lose overtime pay the moment he takes office
Republicans have made their clear their wish to roll back a number of Barack Obama's initiatives

Many millions of Americans who voted for Donald Trump could find themselves losing their right to overtime pay as soon as he takes office.

Political observers pointed out that one of the things Mr Trump has undertaken to push forward with, is to reverse a planned pay boost enacted by President Barack Obama.

Part of the regulation - that is due to go into effect on December 1 - demands that companies pay time-and-a-half overtime to workers who make less than $47,000 a year.
=========================================================================

Way to Trumpkin Bumpkins. A one month pay raise, to be taken away by Turkey Neck McConnell , overgrown frat boy Ryan, and billionaire man of the people Donald Trump.

What a joke. Demonizing the GOP over this stuff is gonna make replacing them all in 2018 and 2020 a cinch.

Hey, how'd that election work out for you?

No matter how many times we set you straight Dean, you continue to post the same ole lies.

Nobody in the GOP sent jobs anywhere. That's not what government does. I understand you're a liberal and don't know what government is supposed to be there for, but private industry moves jobs overseas, and part of that was because of over powering unions, regulations and taxation.

 

[mrbojanglezs]

we are a free market country. Democrats want to bring in millions of unskilled immigrants who will work for a quarter of your wage then you cry about when "rich people" hire them instead of you.

You want to be paid more, you need to be in demand

Lol, you are sadly mistaken.

The high cost of salaries means fewer people actually have jobs, dude.

With Obamas regulations and union ass kissing, the economy was anemic, but now is already showing signs of robustness as the economy expects a Trump administration to undo all of Obama's stupidity.

how is your Minimum wage job going?

Federal revenues last year were about 50% higher than they were in 2005, 63% higher than in 2001.
When will you guys ever be satisfied?
