Very strongly agree

Yes, and the government should do more to protect workers’ rights

This answer aligns closely with left-wing ideology, which advocates for strong worker protections and rights. The emphasis on doing more to protect workers' rights, in addition to requiring time-and-a-half for overtime, resonates with historical left-wing efforts to improve labor laws and working conditions, such as the Fair Labor Standards Act.

Strongly agree

Yes, and all employees should be paid time-and-a-half for overtime hours regardless of their pay scale

This answer expands on the protection of workers' rights by suggesting that all employees, regardless of their pay scale, should be paid time-and-a-half for overtime hours. This is in line with left-wing ideology's emphasis on equality and fair labor practices. The score is not a full 5 because it might be seen as too broad or impractical by some within the left-wing, who may prefer a more targeted approach based on income levels.

Agree

Yes

Left-wing ideology generally supports policies that protect and benefit workers, including fair compensation for overtime work. Requiring businesses to pay salaried employees making up to $46k/year time-and-a-half for overtime aligns with this principle. However, the score is not a full 5 because the left-wing might prefer more comprehensive labor reforms.

Strongly disagree

No, our economy and businesses cannot afford a decrease in worker productivity right now

While left-wing ideology recognizes the importance of a healthy economy, it places a higher priority on worker rights and fair compensation. The argument that the economy and businesses cannot afford a decrease in worker productivity prioritizes profits over people, which is generally opposed by left-wing values.

Very strongly disagree

No

Left-wing ideology typically opposes policies that allow businesses to exploit workers by not compensating them fairly for overtime work. The idea of not requiring businesses to pay salaried employees time-and-a-half for overtime hours would be strongly disagreed upon as it goes against the principle of protecting workers' rights.

Very strongly disagree

No, and the government is currently over-regulating private businesses

Left-wing ideology typically supports government regulation as a means to protect workers, consumers, and the environment. The notion that the government is over-regulating private businesses contradicts left-wing values, especially when such regulations are aimed at ensuring fair wages and working conditions.
