Roosevelt seeks wage hour bill to create four million jobs
Washington May 21 The Roosevelt wage and hour plan nearing Congress could set a 40 cent hour minimum and a 35 hour week for interstate industries. It aims to place about 4,000,000 jobless into work with a federal board enforcing rates and hours, while preserving a 40 cent minimum and 35 hour baseline across sectors. The proposal includes child labor limits, a $5,000 penalty for violations, and allows higher hours in some industries under conditions. It notes AFL CIO labor groups backing the plan and potential exemptions for smaller employers.
