A lot of people don't even get straight time when working overtime hours. That's the real issue, not the thing about time and a half. Wage theft is one of the big ways that companies have been able to spike their profits so high. No one needs extra hours when they're getting paid the same regardless of whether they work 40 or 60. Total labor income will definitely change in that scenario. Maybe what we need is an profession sports league-style salary cap, where labor income is guaranteed to be a set percent of revenue. Nah, socialism only works for the wealthy :)
