Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

Unfortunately this wouldn’t really affect most salaried employees at all. Being on salary in most situations specifically excludes you from overtime pay, and this is just changing that threshold for people who are eligible for overtime pay (generally hourly employees and those with strong unions). I’m all for it, but a different push needs to be made to ensure that being on salary doesn’t just mean “your life is ours whenever we ask for it”
