Sherrod Brown Pushes Trump Administration On Overtime Pay

U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) is proposing a bill that would require overtime pay for any salaried worker making less than $51,064, a more than $15,000 increase to the Trump Administration's proposed threshold.

The current overtime salary threshold is set at $23,660, Brown says his plan would make overtime pay available for more than 4.6 million more workers.

President Donald Trump has his own proposal to increase to the threshold to $35,303 a year.

Brown says that plan is a "betrayal to American workers" and sees this as an important issue in the 2020 presidential race.

particularly Harris and O'Rourke. The one issue that develops having Brown as a running mate or in the cabinet is that his replacement would be named by Gov. DeWine who would almost certainly pick a Republican.

That may be one reason Brown dropped out. The guy is seriously devoted to Ohio.

He knocked DeWine out of the Senate. I wish he would run for Governor.
