Most IT professionals are on salary, and therefore don't get overtime anyway. Of all professions in the US, IT is one of the most underpopulated. Even at the height of unemployment rates in the last few years, I could walk off my current job and probably get a new job in a couple weeks. Pass whatever laws you want, I'll still get paid well with good benefits, because my employer knows if they don't treat me well, someone else will, and they'll have to find someone else, who will probably be at least as expensive as me, but without all the institutional knowledge that I have.
People who need laws protecting them are the ones that are in menial labor jobs that can be replaced by any schmoe off the street. IT professionals are not those people. For some reason, there just aren't enough people going into IT/Software... which is bad for the country, but good for those in that field.
