NAM: Overtime Regulation Is One More Roadblock For Manufacturers

NAM argues that the overtime regulations stand in the way of robust job creation.

The National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) Vice President of Human Resources Policy Joe Trauger issued the following statement in response to the Department of Labor’s proposed rule to change overtime regulations:

“Today, the Department of Labor announced the demotion of at least 5 million Americans. Manufacturers are proud of the modern workplaces and high salaries they offer their workforce, and this proposed regulation is another in a long list of regulatory roadblocks to healthy and robust economic growth and job creation. We will continue to pursue policies that allow manufacturers to create high-paying, good jobs and vigorously oppose policies that are counterproductive to achieving that goal.”
