Working Families Flexibility Act Not So Flexible for Workers

Congress is expected to consider a bill this week to amend the Fair Labor Standards Act. But some say the proposed changes are anything but fair. The bill, called the Working Families Flexibility Act, would give private employers the right to offer hourly workers paid time off instead of overtime.

If you could choose between paid time off or overtime, which would you choose? Overtime, right? Where’s Christian Brown when we need him?
