Plus more scattered throughout. Here’s just some of the obvious quotes about it

DOL should clarify that a home office is not subject to OSHA regulations and that time to set up a home office is not compensable time or eligible for overtime calculations

They want to remove overtime pay for work from home

Congress should amend the NLRA to authorize collective bargaining to treat national employment laws and regulations as negotiable defaults. For example, this reform would allow a union to bless a relaxed overtime trigger (e.g., 45 hours a week, or 80 hours over two weeks)

Allowing labor laws to be negotiable is going to be used by companies to given worse labor contracts to unions and is a blatant attempt to weaken their power

Here’s a decent article that includes some of the more conniving ways Project 2025 wants to gut overtime

You’d think Unions would just reject that bullshit, but then Teamsters is … probably fully on board.

The Teamsters, who’re unabashably using bureaucratic obstruction and strict compliance to refuse to cross picket lines.

Here’s what I don’t get.

He’s incredibly consistent, not paying contractors, or employees. Or paying fractions of what the contract actually stipulated.

I don’t get why any contractor would work for him. any contractor that works with trump is going to get fucked over. its how he operates.

I was unaware of just how true this is until Trump became president

Funnily enough, this far along into his political career you’d imagine most of the contractors he’s able to hire are his fan base.

Same reason anyone votes for him, I guess. He fucked all them over too.

He’s essentially a con man, and there’s a sucker born every day.

He didn’t have to admit it. Anyone that’s been paying attention to him for the last 30 some years knows that he’s a con man that doesn’t pay his bills.

Unfortunately it seems that the people who rally for him didn’t research him and alway think anything bad said about him is made up. This may actually help show them he really doesn’t like the working class.

Either they think it’s made up, or they just convince themselves that the face-eating leopard ”surely wouldn’t eat my face.”

I’ve been following this POS since late 80s, Grifters are going to grift and con men are going to con.

He doesn’t need to show them. He’s already said, “I don’t care about you. I just want your vote.”

You misunderstand. They hate immigrants and queers so much that they think that all of their problems will disappear if they elect the guy promising to purge society of undesirables.

Same story for every rise of Fascism ever witnessed.
