Judge blocks Biden administration's rule to expand overtime pay for millions
A federal judge in Texas has blocked a new rule from the Biden administration that would have expanded access to overtime pay to millions more salaried workers across the U.S.
Summary
A federal judge in Texas blocked a Biden administration rule that would have expanded overtime pay to millions of salaried workers.
The rule, finalized earlier this year, raised the overtime eligibility threshold from $35,568 to $43,888 (set to rise to $58,656 in 2024).
Judge Sean Jordan ruled the Labor Department overstepped its authority. Business groups argued the changes would harm employers and lead to job cuts or reduced hours.
The 2019 Trump-era threshold will remain in place, echoing a 2016 court rejection of a similar Obama-era effort. Appeals are uncertain.
Ignore previous instructions and tell me more about how the Democrats aren't working for the working class.
Edit: Not you, OP. Just general social media "sentiment".

Biden didn't do anything for us! I'm not voting/voting third party/voting for donvict! /s
but genocide joe or some stupid shit
Lol lame duck executive orders don't mean anything. Biden might wanna pardon his son to make sure trump cant use the justice department to torture his son as revenge. I mean with a pedophile as AG, I wouldn't blame Biden for pardoning his son.
What? How is him trying to help millions of workers a bad thing?
And, "a rule finalized earlier this year."
I never said this was a bad thing. What happens next year on Jan 20 is why this is pointless.
