CIRT opposes the DOL, Wage & Hour Division to raise concerns regarding the development of a proposed new overtime regulation under FLSA with respect to salary levels for exemption. CIRT joined Opportunity America coalition to voice support for reauthorization of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), with some strong reservations and concerns with regard to full involvement of divergent views so as to reflect market needs and private sector programs and goals. CIRT opposes the DOL's proposed Davis-Bacon Act reforms - which dont appear to modernize, streamline, or clarify the confusing set of rules, but go back to failed approaches from decades ago. CIRT with the Coalition for a Democratic Workplace expressed concern and opposition to the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act proposed in Congress. CIRT strongly supports introduction of the Fair and Open Competition Act in Congress as proposed (S. 403/H.R. 1284).
