MORE LABOR DAY: We hope our friends in America are enjoying the Labor Day holiday, and it might be a good time for them to think about this: the Bush administration are abolishing the rule that workers must earn time and a half for overtime work. When he announced this "initiative", Bush suggested that in return, workers would be get given time off in lieu instead (which is, of course, really handy - because you can so feed your family with an extra day off) but even that trade-off has been fixed: the legislation to abolish time and a half has been brought forward, but there's no word yet on making the time off in lieu a legally enshrined right.
