Sanders Statement on New Overtime Rule He Fought For

Statement

Date: May 18, 2016
Location: Washington, DC

"While more must be done to raise the wages of American workers, this long overdue change in overtime rules is a step in the right direction and good news for millions of workers. Too many Americans are working longer hours for lower wages. If we are serious about expanding the middle class, we must ensure that workers are paid fairly for all the work they do. Extending overtime pay will help millions of middle-class families, who have gone far too long without a raise. It's time hard working Americans got the pay they deserve."
