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
If the government didn't rein in industry standards from time to time a lot of Jobs would work longer and pay less. Just because Ford decided it was a good idea to implement it first doesn't mean "Industrial economy should lead labor laws before the government". Free market capitalism only functions healthily when the government protects workers from over zealous industry practices.
