More than 130,000 hardworking Ohioans would be eligible for overtime pay under the new rules, which were set to take effect Dec. 1. "Using taxpayer dollars on a lawsuit to take hard-earned money out of the pockets of American workers is shameful,” said Brown. “But, the fight is far from over and we will continue fighting to make sure American workers are paid for the hours they work." ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
