Given the problems the United States has been having and the unnecessary, misplaced, and wrong-headed, but very real angst of people about becoming insolvent if we continue to increase the size of the deficit, I find myself wondering why we have not turned to another time-tested and very effective New Deal solution to the problem of growing employment. That solution is the Fair Labor Standards Act.

Does the Fair Labor Standards Act Hate Home Care Workers? |
| By: unionreview Saturday August 14, 2010 7:03 am |
If you or your family haven’t needed a home care worker lately, I am guessing these workers haven’t made a blip on your radar. That’s OK. I want to give some information about these folks and let you in on something so few are aware of: They are excluded from the FLSA — for some unknown reason. This can change however and I am looking for input on how we can do this, together.
