Nonsense job titles like "Lead Shower Door Installer" or "Carpet Shampoo Manager" are costing workers $4 billion in overtime every year.
If you make over $455 a week and are labeled a manager, you're not legally entitled to overtime, and companies are exploiting this loophole.

NEW: This Supreme Court case could devastate workers’ right to strike.
If wealthy corporations get their way, companies would be able to sue workers for the cost of a strike — like spoiled food, lost revenue, and more.
It would be a massive setback for the working class.
