A single worktime control supercedes almost all other government programs and controls including wage controls. Wage controls do not have this kind of power and effectiveness, and they create a gap in the wage ladder against newcomers trying to climb into the job market.
Trying to force a higher price for a cheap surplus commodity (labor) is swimming against the current and addresses the symptom, not the disease. Better to address the disease by ending the background labor surplus - not the usual way (i.e., war) but the intelligent way of converting overtime into training and hiring and if necessary, trimming the workweek to a level more appropriate to our advanced technology.
This can be done non-arbitrarily by indexing the length of the workweek to unemployment (duly expanded to count everyone dependent on the taxpayer). Employers will find that this approach leaves them considerable wage flexibility while reversing the current downsizing of their customer base.
