Labor Chief Chao Touts New Overtime Rules

By DAVID ESPO

WASHINGTON (AP) - Labor Secretary Elaine Chao worked in public and private Monday to head off an embarrassing defeat in the Senate at the hands of Democrats challenging new Bush administration overtime regulations.

Speaking to nursing students in Florida, Chao said the regulation "makes clear that registered nurses who currently receive overtime will continue to receive overtime when the new rule takes effect."

Her claim drew a prompt rebuttal from the leaders of several nurses' unions. "For the first time in the history of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), hourly paid employees, including registered nurses, may be denied overtime compensation," the Coalition to Preserve Overtime Rights for Registered Nurses wrote members of the Senate.

With a close vote expected Tuesday, Chao arranged a private meeting with Sen. Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island, who has yet to take a position on the regulations. Chafee was one of six Republicans who sided with Democrats last fall in a 54-46 vote to scuttle an earlier draft.
