Construction industry groups are cheering a decision by a federal district court to block a new U.S. Dept. of Labor overtime rule, which was set to go into effect on Dec. 1. But labor unions and the department itself say the court's preliminary injunction short-changes workers.
On its website, DOL says it “strongly disagrees” with the Nov. 22 decision by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas and is considering all legal options.
