Too busy meeting with underage girls
He never wanted to meet with labor, just talk about it.
he goes out and protects sexual abusers... did you not know that...
Of course, he doesn’t. He‘s part of a fake administration fronted by a fake president.
What did you expect? That one of Trumps old corrupt buddies would actually do the job the tax payers are paying him to do? Another swamp alligator needs to go.
he's afraid they might find a cross and nail him to it
Too busy talking with his attorneys trying to figure out his exposure in the Jeffrey Epstein child sex trafficking ring, and the hush, hush plea deal he handed to him without notifying the girls who were victims and witnesses.
Haaaaaa. Of bourse not why would he? Isn’t like Devos not meeting with teachers? The irony.
The hit-pieces just keep on coming.

New Labor Department rule would give 1.1 million workers overtime eligibilityDept. of Labor announces proposed rule that would make 1.1 million American workers newly eligible to receive overtime pay beginning in 2020.

Well above cost of living increase. Let's hope illegal immigration will not reverse that as it did in the past. Expands OT eligibility for regular employees from $455 to $670 per week.
