In theory a salaried worker is supposed to be "management" and all of the "labor" are supposed to be hourly but this regularly gets abused. There have been quite a number of court decisions about this. (and one recent work place shooting) Unfortunately, without a direct complaint to the labor board, which could be career damaging, there is not much you can do about it. You could get famous though, as party to a suit. I suppose it all comes down to what your main job function is. If you are the lead man who does more pointing and directing than actually wiring, you could be called a manager.
