time and a half for OT ending
A bill making its way quietly through the senate will effectively end overtime pay. "This will bring an end to the 40 hour week " was quoted by an unnamed Senate source. "if this passes then the next target will be minimum wage laws and an end to Davis Beacon "
how do you feel this will effect you.

Sounds like the National Equirer.
Is the story right after the two-headed Elvis baby?

I did not read the whole story. BUT it may surprise you to know that occasionally (like every day) in lieu of doing actual work our representatives in congress grandstand. Posing questions to bills and events that will never happen. So they can tell the populace at home how they ferreted out some evil and saved the masses. When in reality there was nothing to save us from.
This happens on both sides of the aisle.

That reminds me - time to plan another vacation.
I'm not worried though. Obama is going to save the world and give us all mortgage payments and jobs for life.

I call shenanigans.
A Google search for "This will bring an end to the 40 hour week" bring up this message:  No results found for "This will bring an end to the 40 hour week".
If there were an article anywhere on the web with these words it would show.
