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.
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.”
