Bush's Labor Department Offering Tips on How to Cut Workers Pay


Yahoo! News - AP: U.S. Offers Tips on Cutting OT Costs

The 1.3 million low-wage workers the Labor Department says will be guaranteed overtime pay as part of proposed rule changes may not necessarily see any extra cash.

"We're not saying anybody should do any of this," said Labor Department spokesman Ed Frank.
