Eric Cantor will propose Federal Law that Ends Overtime Pay for hourly workers

162. With no overtime pay

employers are going to have workers who are increasingly hard to find in their hours off. That is a given.

Employers are not going to want to keep spending the money to train new hires. You can train a new hire on a fast food line very quickly. You can't train skilled new hires that quickly. I once read a cost estimate of $50,000 for bringing in a new nurse for a six week training period in facility procedures and that was some years ago. It costs an equivalent amount to bring a skilled assembly line worker up to speed. New hires are expensive.

Employers don't want to have to keep training them every week. It's cheaper to work the old employees to death and pay them overtime. Overtime on artificially low wages is a relative pittance.
