ETA Signs Joint Trade Letters in Support of S 2707 / HR 4773, the Protecting Workplace Advancement and Opportunity Act

April 18, 2016

Dear Representative:

On behalf of the Partnership to Protect Workplace Opportunity (the Partnership) and the undersigned 340 local and national organizations representing small and large businesses, nonprofits, institutions of higher education, schools, cities and counties, we write to ask that you cosponsor H.R. 4773, the Protecting Workplace Advancement and Opportunity Act. This important and reasonable legislation would require the U.S. Department of Labor to perform a detailed impact analysis prior to implementing changes to the exemptions for executive, administrative, and professional employees (the “white collar exemptions”) under the Fair Labor Standard Act’s overtime pay requirements.

Please view the joint trade letter in support of HR 4773 here.
