“Under this rule, a person who makes $25,000 a year and works in the shoe department of a retail store who spends most of her day selling shoes, who is asked to watch two other people who also sell shoes and keep records on them, but not have the right to fire them, not have the right to supervise them, that woman making $25,000 a year will not get time and a half if the employer says she has to work more than 40 hours a week. That is wrong. If my colleagues vote for the Obey-Miller amendment they stop that rule. The 40-hour workweek is a fundamental in this country, and we will not let you stop it.”
