Evidence
Congresswoman Gwen Moore held a press conference to mark the re-introduction of H.R. 1468, the Worker Relief and Credit Reform (WRCR) Act, to expand and modernize the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) so that this important tax credit better meets the demands on America’s workforce and fights poverty.
Cosponsors include Gwen Moore (WI) on H.R. 4046, a bill to amend the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to strengthen the provisions relating to child labor, and for other purposes.
Cosponsors include Gwen Moore (WI) on H.R. 17, a bill to amend the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to provide more effective remedies to victims of discrimination in the payment of wages on the basis of sex, and for other purposes.
This bill postpones from December 1, 2016, until June 1, 2017, the effective date of a final rule of the Department of Labor revising income thresholds for determining overtime pay for executive, administrative, professional, outside sales, and computer employees exempt from regular minimum wage and overtime pay requirements.
Assessments
The promise was framed as continued advocacy against erosions in worker protections, including overtime pay, rather than a specific enacted policy. The evidence shows Moore continued to advance worker-related protections in Congress during the same term, including worker tax-credit legislation and cosponsorship of Fair Labor Standards Act-related bills on child labor and wage discrimination. However, the record provided does not show that she specifically stopped an overtime-pay rollback or delivered a concrete overtime-protection outcome, and the overtime-specific evidence does not establish her role. This supports partial credit for continued effort, not full delivery.
Moore’s promise was framed as an ongoing advocacy commitment rather than a discrete enactment promise. The evidence shows she continued to support worker-focused and Fair Labor Standards Act-related measures, including EITC expansion, child labor protections, and wage-discrimination remedies. However, the record provided does not show that she specifically prevented erosions in overtime pay protections or delivered a concrete overtime-pay protection outcome. This supports partial fulfillment with documented legislative effort.
