Iowa to sue to block federal minimum wage coverage
Des Moines attorney general Richard Turner will file in federal court seeking to block the broad based federal minimum wage law from covering Iowa public employees. The suit requests a temporary injunction to halt the law at midnight. Turner argues the law encroaches on state rights and should apply only to state and local wages under state law. The action, led by O'Brien County Attorney Richard Smith, targets county home employees and could cost Iowa millions in higher university payrolls, with overtime rules expanding to 40 to 44 hours weekly in coming years.
