Issues: Employment and Affirmative Action Executive Branch

U.S. Senator Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), the senior Republican on the Senate labor committee, today released the following statement on the president's order to change overtime rules:

"The president's directive--combined with his support for a minimum wage hike, his executive order increasing minimum wage for federal employees and federal contractors, and the heap of mandates from his health care law--seems engineered to make it as unappealing as possible to be an employer creating jobs in this country."
