"For far too long, Americans have worked harder, but their wages have remained the same. A hard day's work should lead to a fair day's pay, and the President's proposed rule will affirm that fundamental American principle," said Rep. Jim Costa. "Millions of Americans work increasing long hours, spending time away from their families, without receiving the overtime pay they have earned. By increasing the wages of salaried employees in the San Joaquin Valley and throughout our nation, the health of our economy will improve and hard-working families will have the means to provide for their loved ones. Congress must now focus on passing a long-term transportation bill that will create more good-paying jobs, grow Americans' paychecks, and strengthen hard-working families."
