The Supreme Court divided five to four, striking down a two year federal overtime law applied to about 3.4 million state and local workers under the Fair Labor Standards Act. States warned of costs estimated at $275.5 million yearly for police and firemen, with total state and local employee costs over $1 billion. The government argued wage costs would rise by less than two percent overall.
