Senator Florez wants to blow up the boxes of government, but still supports more government intervention.
"Overtime pay after eight hours is the law for wage earners across California -- except for those who do some of the hardest work, harvesting fruit and vegetables in the state's fields and orchards.
Now Sen. Dean Florez, D-Shafter, is trying to change that.
Florez is pushing for a law that would give farm workers the same overtime benefits as other hourly employees."
I have an idea; you get overtime pay if you can prove you are here legally. We are being told that ONLY illegal aliens will work the fields (that is not try), so why not use pay laws as a means of controlling criminals?--
That amendment to his bill would kill it. Democrats prefer protecting illegal aliens to protecting honest citizens.
