Obama Appointee Blocks Obama’s Signature Labor Reform
Posted By Bill McMorris On November 23, 2016 @ 10:10 am In Issues | No Comments
A federal judge appointed by Barack Obama struck down one of the president’s signature labor regulations on Tuesday just days before it was to go into effect.
Texas District Court Judge Amos L. Mazzant granted a preliminary injunction on the department’s new overtime regulations, which would have forced employers to pay overtime to any white collar employee making less than $913 a week—double the previous threshold of $455. Mazzant’s temporary injunction will prevent the rules from taking effect on Dec. 1.
