Governor LePage Joins Coalition of States Challenging New Overtime Rule
State of Maine | September 20, 2016
Governor Paul R. LePage joined a coalition of states today in filing a federal court complaint challenging the United States Department of Labor’s new overtime rule. “If implemented, this rule would more than double the minimum salary threshold for public and private workers without Congressional authorization,” said Governor LePage. “The rule will force many state and local governments to substantially increase their employment costs. Some may be forced to eliminate some services and even lay off employees.”
