“Well, it is one way some unscrupulous employers--I would not say all--will be helped. Again, I must say to my friend that prior to this rule being issued last year by the administration, and even during the debate on this last year, I never had one employer in my State come up to me and say we need that. Not one. Obviously, there are some someplace who want to get it changed. They must have very close friends in the White House. This is one way of working people longer hours. American workers now work a longer work week than any other workers in any other industrialized country right now. Now they want to work them longer and not pay them overtime.”
