Farm bloc vows fight over wage hour changes
Washington May 15 Strong farm bloc opposition threatened to forestall administration plans to rush wage hour amendments through the house. If the plan is defeated, Labor Committee Chairman Norton would pause efforts to simplify operation of the wage hour act. Farm groups and the American Farm Bureau oppose amendments broadening exemptions for agriculture labor. The bill would exempt 16 farm operations to cap overtime at 60 hours weekly, with limited exemptions for first processing of fruits and vegetables. Senate recesses today.
