The rulemaking process is a laborious one, for anyone showing up to scream, 'hE ShOuLd hAvE DoNe tHiS On dAy oNe!!1!111!' The process is further hobbled when the nomination for the head of the relevant subagency - in this case, David Weil for DOL's Wage & Hour Division - is held up for two years thanks to Senate shenanigans, and finally killed through a cloture vote. Acting Administrator Jessica Looman was finally confirmed in late 2023.
In addition, proposed rules and regulations go through a laborious vetting procedure in-agency before being published in the Federal Register with a required period for public feedback. This one went to the Federal Register in September of last year.
The idea that POTUS comes in 'on Day 1' and declares changes like this by fiat is what MAGAts want and is at odds with how our government works.
@Lillian Moss He didn’t. They’ve been doing pro worker things for quite a while now. Just because it’s an election year doesn’t mean they’ll just do nothing during it. Also this wasn’t Biden, it was the Department of Labor. The NLRB made it so they punish companies engaging in unionbusting well over a year ago.
Now watch their hours get cut annd their annnual income fall. Oblivious to how business works because this guy and his administration have never been in the private sector. And they have no basic grasp of fundamental economics. Just like the minimum wage mandate in CA. So stupid!

Biden trying to win votes with stuff he could have done from Day 1.
Just sound bites that will have the opposite effect in reality. Let’s review in 3 months and see what the results tell us.

Why did he wait until now to do anything popular? 🤔
Thank you for the coverage!
To Sen. Cassidy I just want someone to ask - "Ok, when do you think would be the right time? Name the date."
