I was one of those schmucks. I was a professional, barred by rules from getting overtime pay. Often put in 60 to 70 hour weeks, being on 24/7 call. I was allowed to bank compensatory time off, but was often refused requests to use the time, and carry-over limits saw me losing hundreds of banked hours every year. Frustrating, but my high salary versus what non-professionals earned eased the frustration. If Obama gets his way, professional and executive jobs will disappear because it will bankrupt companies.
