The Wall Street Journal had a piece about comp time vs. overtime yesterday, a fight that is "dividing the labor movement." Clinton & Congress look to be moving toward some kind of deal, making a longtime Republican dream a reality, to amend labor law to allow for compensatory time off rather in place of overtime. The article said that unions are internally divided - with "working women" showing preference for comp time, reversing traditional union preferences. Any thoughts on this? Are conservative unionists speaking on behalf of "working women," or is this a real feminist position?
