On April 14, the Partnership to Protect Workplace Opportunity sent a letter to the Secretary of Labor and Wage and Hour Administrator urging they rescind the Biden-era overtime final rule as part of their review of all regulations under the Department of Labor’s purview required by Executive Order 14219, Ensuring Lawful Governance and Implementing the President’s “Department of Government Efficiency” Deregulatory Initiative.

Our letter explains, “This regulation, if kept in effect, would have damaging effects on businesses, entrepreneurs, and workers, including creating unnecessary uncertainty, additional regulatory and administrative burdens, inflationary pressures, and diminished flexibility. In addition, the regulation falls under multiple categories outlined in the Executive Order as undermining the national interest.” Moreover, “[w]ithdrawing and rescinding this rule would align with the Trump administration’s deregulatory agenda and save the agency significant resources.”
