likely cause a raise in starting salary for postdocs to $50K).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;line-height:12.65pt"><span class="im"><span lang="EN-US">This summer, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) is expected to implement a new overtime rule, which would raise the overtime salary threshold from $23,660
to $50,440—strengthening the right of 13.5 million additional workers to receive overtime pay and the right to earn a fair living. As universities are unlikely to pay postdocs overtime, this would raise the effective postdoc minimum to $50,440.</span></span><span lang="EN-US"><br>
<span class="im">However, some members of Congress are eager to prevent this deal by running out the clock on President Obama. The Congressional Review Act dictates that all “major” rules are delayed for 60 legislative days after they are submitted to Congress
and are subject to a “fast track” process for repeal. That process has to end before President Obama leaves office to guarantee a veto of any Congressional resolution of disapproval.</span><br>
<br>
<span class="im">If the Labor Department does not act soon, Congress will reverse this critical protection for millions of workers.</span><br>
