Week 4 Assignment 2 Case Analysis /Scenario
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) establishes minimum wage, overtime pay, and recordkeeping and child labor standards for both full time and part time workers in the United States.

Some of the changes imposed created conflict with unions because many employees were not getting paid overtime. The changes were made over the union 's objections. I believe that proposed changes for the FLSA will improve the working conditions in accordance with the demands of the time. There are many everyday essentials that are going up in price and people still have the same minimum wage of $7.25. There will be controversy with the changes proposed just like there was much controversy with the FLSA changes on exempt employees and overtime wages. I do believe however that the proposed changes are for establishing more realistic employment aid and opportunities for the future
