Washington January 22 Undersecretary of Commerce William Foster told a Senate judiciary subcommittee that portal pay suits could drive many firms out of business even if only part of the claimed amount is awarded. He said many suits exceed reasonable expectations and noted nearly 5 hundred million dollars already sought. He urged Congress to protect industry production and employment while respecting the Fair Labor Standards Act and to define past liability based on good faith agreements between employers and employees. The subcommittee then noted possible impacts on the navy and commerce departments after learning the army could face up to half a billion dollars.
