2. K & R. So bad and true. It really was forceful to hear Bernie say this at the Arlington Forum

I attended last Thurs. His words: "Americans work more hours than the Japanese, the British and the French (ha).

Currently 85% of men and 65% of women in the US work MORE THAN 40 HOURS A WEEK.

Many Americans work jobs that pay $24-28K, for 50-60 hours a week yet they do not receive overtime pay (He mentioned McD's Mgrs. as an example)".

Bernie said Obama had worked on this and it was an NLRB matter if I heard him correctly.

I included this info. in my OP/Report on the Arl. event here in the BSG.

What a disgrace and how many people are aware of this with M$M?!
