Okay, I think I see the 'new' take on it. Or, at least I see it from Wired's perspective.
Around here it's got nothing to do with extra hours. It's construction jobs being lost to 'Mexicans' (anyone that speaks spanish). I've heard it from both sides though - the employers complain the local guys just won't show up on time consistently (or at all). I have no idea what sorts of extra hours these workers may put in, or if they're paid for them. But I can imagine they whine a lot less about extra work in general.
