Kentucky congressman Brett Guthrie and Illinois congresswoman Cheri Bustos have introduced a new piece of legislation to the House of Representatives -- and yes, it's relevant to baseball. Guthrie and Bustos have joined together to pen the Save America's Pastime Act. Essentially, Guthrie and Bustos are pushing against the idea (and a class-action lawsuit) that minor-league players should receive more pay than they do -- or, in legal terms, they don't believe ballplayers should be eligible for overtime pay benefits that are normally afforded to hourly workers. Guthrie and Bustos allege that paying minor-league players more would threaten minor-league baseball's ability to exist. Here's the full release on the Act, which Minor League Baseball (obviously) supports: 簡單來說，兩位美國眾議員提出一項名為拯救棒球法案他們認為小聯盟球員並沒有資格享有原本屬於時薪工作者，超時工作的加班費他們認為給小聯盟球員越多錢反而會威脅小聯盟的存亡 http://tinyurl.com/hlu59p8 而以下是小聯盟官方的聲明稿想當然耳，當然大力支持，和台灣資方有87%像 Minor League Baseball supports new legislation to protect America's pastime 06/29/2016 12:29 PM ET Minor League Baseball ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Minor League Baseball today announced its full support for the bipartisan Save America's Pastime Act (H.R. 5580), which was introduced June 24, 2016, in the United States House of Representatives by Congressman Brett Guthrie (R-KY) and Congresswoman Cheri Bustos (D-IL). 小聯盟在今日宣布，將全力支持民主和共和兩黨提出之拯救棒球法律案。這項法案在6月24日由Brett Guthrie眾議員(共和黨-肯塔基州)及Cheri Bustos眾議員 (民主黨-伊利諾州)共同提出。 The legislation would amend the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) to clarify that Minor League Baseball players are not subject to a law that was intended to protect workers in traditional hourly-rate jobs. A pending lawsuit in a California federal court makes a first-of-its-kind claim that the federal overtime laws should apply to Minor League Baseball players. 這項立法案將會修正聯邦公平勞動標準法，藉以澄清小聯盟球員並非該法所適用的對象，(即保護傳統領時薪的工作者)。同一時間，一件訴訟在加州聯邦法院審理。該案原告在第一訴之聲明中主張，聯邦超時工作法應適用於小聯盟球員。 This suit threatens baseball's decades-old player development system with an unprecedented cost increase, which would jeopardize the skills-enhancement role of the minor leagues and the existence of Minor League Baseball itself. As a result of this lawsuit filed on behalf of thousands of current and former players, many cities would be in jeopardy of losing their Minor League Baseball teams, resulting in the elimination of tens of thousands of jobs nationwide, shuttering tax-payer funded ballparks and creating a void in affordable family-friendly entertainment. 這件訴訟案嚴重威脅有數十年歷史的球員發展系統。隨著前所未有的成本增加，將戕害小聯盟所扮演的協助球員增進技能的角色，甚且危及小聯盟本身存亡。這件為數以萬計來自退役或現役小聯盟球員發聲的訴訟，將導致許多城市處於失去它們所屬球隊懸崖邊緣；全國上下數萬個工作機會消失；使納稅人終止投資球場；一個可以負擔的家庭娛樂將趨於無形。 "Minor League Baseball would like to thank Congressman Guthrie and Congresswoman Bustos for their leadership on this issue facing Minor League Baseball and for gathering bipartisan Congressional support," said Minor League Baseball President & CEO Pat O'Conner. "For over 115 years, Minor League Baseball has been a staple of American communities, large and small, and with the help of Congressman Guthrie, Congresswoman Bustos and other members of Congress, it will remain so for years to come." 小聯盟竭誠感謝Guthrie和Bustos議員挺身面對這浮現於小聯盟之重大議題，以及他們群聚兩黨國會力量的努力。小聯盟總裁暨執行長Pat O’Conner說道。超過115年歲月，小聯盟已儼然是美國聚落的必需品。隨著Guthrie和Bustos以及其他議員齊心戮力，小聯盟未來還有許多日子要走。 "Should the California litigation be successful, teams like the Louisville Bats, Bowling Green Hot Rods and Lexington Legends may well disappear, along with a source of wholesome entertainment for Kentucky families, and an economic generator for those cities," said Louisville Bats President Gary Ulmer. "With the introduction of the Save America's Pastime Act, Congressman Guthrie again demonstrates his commitment to protecting our communities and commonwealth." 倘若這件加州的訴訟，勞方勝訴，一些球隊如路易斯維爾蝙蝠，鮑靈格林改裝車，萊辛頓傳奇也許從此消聲匿跡。連帶使肯塔基家庭少了一項生活消遣，甚至對於這些都市來說，重要的經濟來源。路易斯維爾蝙蝠隊總裁Gary Ulmer說道。隨著拯救棒球法案的引介，Guthrie議員再一次重申了他那保護我們社群和共通利益的主張。 "Baseball has been a big part of Congresswoman Bustos' life, so she understands the importance - both the economic and emotional impact -- of Minor League Baseball to the small and mid-sized communities that make up America's heartland," said Quad Cities River Bandits owner Dave Heller. "Minor League Baseball is fortunate to have a passionate and effective champion in Congress in Congresswoman Bustos." 棒球是Bustos議員生活中的一大部分，所以她相當了解小聯盟球隊對於美國中心地帶中小型聚落的重要性。(無論是經濟上或是情感上的影響)闊德城河盜隊老闆 Dave Heller如是說。小聯盟何其有幸獲得這來自國會熱情而有效的勝利冠冕。 "We are very appreciative of the support shown by Congresswoman Bustos for the Minor League Baseball clubs not only in her district, but across the country," added Peoria Chiefs President Rocky Vonachen. 我們非常感激Bustos議員對不僅是她轄區的球隊，甚至是全國小聯盟球團的支持。皮奧里亞酋長總裁Rocky Vonachen補充道。 Media members seeking additional comment on the legislation and/or lawsuit should contact Minor League Baseball Vice President Stan Brand at sbrand@akingump.com. http://tinyurl.com/h59djz2 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 123.110.18.128 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/MLB/M.1467305945.A.2DA.html ※ 編輯: OhwadaAkira (123.110.18.128), 07/01/2016 01:03:18
