Working Families Flexibility Act


Open email to Rep Neugebauer (Texas):
   House Speaker Boehner says the full House is up for a vote this week on the Working Families Flexibility Act. In essence, the Act will allow workers to take their accumulated employment over-time in hours off rather than cash.
    Sounds good on the surface, but that never should have been a restriction in the first place. Government has no basic right to limit how employers compensate employees. This limitation was instituted with the previous Fair Labor Relations Act.
    A better solution than passage of the Working Families Flexibility Act would be to repeal the Fair Labor Relations Act.
    If the Fair Labor Relations Act repeal looks improbable, then I suggest you vote for the Working Families Flexibility Act. I would like to get government out of this business as much as possible. If we can't do it in one fell swoop, let us reduce it in increments, in the reverse way that we have tended to lose our personal rights to government.
