ITOvertime.com

ITOvertime.com is a site which thoroughly covers one of my hot button issues: that computer programmers should be paid overtime wages when working overtime hours.

Salaried non-exempt is the answer (imo) to the question of how to both stop the abuse of H1-B visas and stop the forced exodus of the elderly (i.e., over 35-year-olds) from the programming field. Someone experienced who can do a job in 40 hours is only preferable to someone cheap who can do the same job in 80 when you have to pay the latter OT.
