Manchester - Today General Wesley Clark called on Congress to block a proposed Bush Administration rule that would deny overtime pay to more than 8 million workers.

"President Bush should not deny overtime pay to millions of workers at a time when more and more workers are struggling to get by on shrinking pay checks. I think it is particularly wrong that Bush is turning his back on our veterans, many of whom stand to lose their right to overtime pay simply because of their military training. Congress should stand up for veterans and workers and block the Bush decision."
