From AFL-CIO: Urgent! Take action NOW to help save overtime pay!

Dear Working Families e-Activist:

We have another chance to save overtime pay.

Congress could vote AS EARLY AS TODAY on an amendment to reverse the Bush administration's massive overtime pay take-away that went into effect Aug. 23.

An amendment sponsored by Democratic Reps. David Obey of Wisconsin and George Miller of California would rescind the new Bush administration wage and hour rules that put some 6 million people at risk of losing their overtime pay.

Please click on the link below to urge your representative to support the Obey-Miller amendment or keep reading for more information.

The Bush administration and its allies in Congress pushed through this massive pay cut for working families. Every working person in America--and every voter--needs to know that President Bush is responsible. Please pass the word to your friends, family and co-workers about this chance to save overtime pay. Urge them to raise their voices with us.

If Congress doesn't pass the Obey-Miller amendment blocking the Bush overtime pay cuts, the new rules will stand. If you're not sure whether you'll be affected by the new rules, click on the link below to find out.

We'll continue to speak out against this outrageous pay cut--and keep you informed on how you can make a difference for working families.

Thanks for all you do.

In solidarity,
