A proposal from the Labor Department would make an estimated 3.6 million salaried workers newly eligible for overtime pay. It covers workers earning less than $55,000 per year.

Good. Moving workers to salary is a way to avoid paying them overtime. They should absolutely be eligible.
Many salaried managers in low-wage industries such as retail and fast food are currently exempt from earning overtime pay, even when they work long hours.
Yeah this has been a bs workaround to avoid paying overtime for awhile. Especially H1B and fresh grads. I would have loved to make 50k out of school but its just peanuts now.
