John’s article entitled “Wage & Hour Watch: Cheerleader Lawsuits And Hypocrisy On Intern Pay,” was posted on January 30, 2014.

He wrote about recent headline items that touched upon matters of continuing concern when it comes to wage & hour issues.

The Employment Policies Institute has highlighted what it calls Maximum Hypocrisy on the Minimum Wage among 96 percent of the Senate and House sponsors of bills to raise the federal Fair Labor Standards Act‘s current rate, John wrote.

According to EPI, this is the proportion of increase-supporting legislators who do not pay their interns.
