Oops! They Did it Again

Lawmakers accidentally gave overtime protection to farmworkers and domestic workers, now they're taking it back.

Lawmakers say the vote last year to create a cause of action for farmworkers and domestic workers to seek overtime pay was a mistake.

Now they're taking action to rectify the situation, stripping farmworkers and domestic workers of the ability to sue for overtime.
