Aime SummaryATTENTION, EVERYONE! The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) was supposed to be a game-changer for hourly workers, but it's got a MAJOR FLAW. Millions of hardworking Americans are being left out in the cold, and it's time for Congress to step up and fix this mess!
The OBBBA, signed into law on July 4, 2025, introduced a new "No Tax on Overtime" rule. This was supposed to be a HUGE win for hourly workers, allowing them to deduct up to $25,000 in overtime pay from their yearly income for tax purposes. But here's the kicker: the law relies on an outdated definition of overtime dating back to 1938. As a result, an estimated 3 million workers were unintentionally excluded. That's right, folks—3 MILLION WORKERS LEFT BEHIND!
WHO ARE THESE WORKERS? They include employees of airlines, railroads, school bus companies, and motor coach carriers. These are the folks who keep our economy moving, and they deserve better than this!
The Transport Workers Union of America (TWU) is leading the charge to correct this injustice. They've drafted a letter, signed by twenty unions and affiliates, urging Congressional leaders to take action. TWU International President John Samuelsen put it bluntly: "Providing tax relief to blue-collar workers is a great idea. They deserve it much more than greedy corporate giants and hedge-fund vultures who never get their hands dirty or have to lift anything heavier than a cocktail. All blue-collar workers, however, must be deemed eligible."
SO, WHAT'S THE SOLUTION? Congress needs to update the definition of overtime to include all hourly workers. This isn't rocket science, folks. It's about fairness and giving hardworking Americans the tax relief they deserve.
DON'T LET THIS SLIP BY! This is a no-brainer, Congress. Fix the OBBBA and make sure all hourly workers get the tax relief they deserve. It's time to stand up for the backbone of our economy—the hardworking men and women who keep this country running.
BOO-YAH! Let's get this done, Congress. The clock is ticking, and millions of workers are counting on you. Don't let them down!
