Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
Starts at Federal level agencies where both regular Federal employees and something like "Qualified Contractors" (not sure if that's technically a thing, but covering my ass here) can't easily get around the change.
Probably pushes State level agencies to try to comply just to make things easier for scheduling purposes.
But only the largest private corps will have enough employees to fall into a category that this would apply to. Not a revolution but half a sandwich is better than no sandwich when you're hungry.
They did something like this with a minimum wage increase in like 2018 I wanna say. It hasn't trickled down yet lol
Vermont already ignores existing federal overtime laws for state workers. When a state worker sued them over it, the state's initial attempt to claim that all hourly employees are actually salaried was so flimsy that the federal judge just told the state to invoke sovereign immunity so they could keep breaking federal law with impunity.
TFW: A Federal Judge decides to copy/paste some soverign citizen wall of text into their decision and hit the golf course early.
