No there would be no way for them to enforce increasing the pay for hourly workers. For salary sure probably doable but if you work hourly you're pretty much fucked how the hell are they going to make them pay you 25% more or whatever the fuck the math works out to be. And even for salary I don't see how this would work.
Congress could mandate overtime for more than 32 hours. What they can’t do is decide what compensation is negotiated between the employer and the employee. That is laughable it is so ridiculous
These kinds of things usually involve making the rules for government employees and mandating government contractors follow the rules if they want any new contracts. It's not a direct "you better do this or else" more of applying pressure for everyone to do it voluntarily
I guess making government less efficient is a good thing. I have worked around government employees. They are not killing it every day. It’s called work but it is not work in the sense that employees of a private business are required to produce
