PIA Backs OT Regulation Reform

ALEXANDRIA, VA—Printing Industries of America (PIA) strongly supported the Department of Labor's updating of the white collar exemption regulations in the Fair Labor Standards Act. The outdated regulations, noted Wendy Lechner, PIA senior director of federal policy, led to lost work time, poor morale and expensive legal fees for printers. PIA says most employees will not be affected by the increased minimum and maximum salary thresholds in the new regulations.
