Nov. 16 (UPI) -- A federal judge in Texas is blocking a rule enacted by President Joe Biden earlier this year that provides overtime pay protection for roughly four million American workers.

The U.S. Department of Labor exceeded its authority when it enacted the rule, U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas Judge Sean Gordon ruled Friday.
