If you want a company that always pays overtime for 8 hours work then apply at those companies. If you need more flexability, work for a company that does not. Its called choice.

Yeah I'm pretty sure that specific legislation was titled "Anti-Little Jonny soccer spectation Bill" [H.R. 12666]. And you guys accuse liberals of having "bleeding hearts" please.
What's keeping you from quitting your job and moving to another state? You have choice too. You may not realize it but you're actually arguing for MORE worker's rights by saying you should be allowed to structure your work schedule as you please. As it turns out the only way to make this possible would be MORE government regulation, something you don't seem to be too fond of. Businesses will always do the bare minimum required by law, it's simply good business. Would you rather place your trust in your government or a corporation? Remember now that you live in a democracy, remember also who constitutes the government in a democracy.
