From the Pennsylvania Budget and Policy Center (http://www.krc-pbpc.org):
There is an URGENT need to call Governor Wolf to ask him to continue to stand with Pennsylvania workers and veto the recently-passed administrative code that would eliminate overtime protections for 190,000 lower-paid and often exploited salary workers.
Pennsylvania’s legislative majority buried the elimination of a new PA regulation inside the administrative code bill that passed with the state budget last Friday, June 25. The recently-passed and highly-celebrated regulation they are seeking to eliminate restores the 40 hour work week and strengthens overtime protections for 190,000 lower-paid PA workers.
Please call Governor Wolf NOW to tell him to veto the administrative code that repeals the new overtime regulations:
717-787-2500
Over the past several years, as Governor Wolf sought to restore the 40-hour work week for exploited, hard-working salaried workers, the legislative majority repeatedly sought to block his efforts, but the governor stood firm. He needs to stand firm one last time, so that more of Pennsylvania’s exploited assistant managers in fast food, retail, branch banking, doctors’ offices, universities and other non-profits, construction, manufacturing, and other industries finally get either a 40-hour week and time with family or fair pay when they work longer hours!
Salaried workers would begin to benefit when the PA threshold increases above the federal threshold in just three months—October 3, 2021 – but only if Governor Wolf vetoes this administration code!
Don’t let Pennsylvania’s legislative majority continue to do the bidding of employers that don’t want to pay a fair wage.
Phone calls are needed, call Governor Wolf here:
717-787-2500
