to help modernize our national labs, which the Department of Energy oversees, to update our science and innovation

It actually made me think of the movie Mean Girls and the quote 'stop trying to make fetch happen.'

Is it true that Starbucks can hold shareholder meetings virtually, but it refuses to allow some union members to join bargaining negotiations virtually, even if other members are present?

Most technology that we now benefit from, all the way from GPS to other areas, were developed by Federal agencies through the use of an investment and then private entities were able to do much more with commercializing or finding those…

The National Labor Relations Board requires an employer and the union to bargain in good faith about wages, hours, and other terms of employment until they agree on a labor contract, not after.

These financial risks are real and need to be managed, but I want to focus on another area.

We should all be concerned because the nature of the epidemic is changing significantly from just the prescription misuse to now cartels driving fentanyl.

These changes will help maintain and improve access to safe, affordable housing for low-income Americans.

This sets an incredibly dangerous precedent in terms of both women's reproductive rights but also the FDA's review of drugs.

The decisions the FDA makes, whether approving a medical device or approving a new drug, must be guided by science and data, not by political pressure.

I certainly hope that we can find that way back, because a lot of folks support Starbucks because the employees were treated well.

I would be happy to send something into the record. My concern is this, if a store changes its hours, reduces its open hours, staff's schedules are changed, they are reduced from 36 hours to 20 hours, but they are told they need to stay…

What concerns me is practices that have been shared with me where a reduction in hours, where an employee maybe once worked full time, 36 hours or so, but then hours were changed at that property for whatever reasons.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and thank you to Ranking Member Grassley for this hearing and to all the panelists who are here today.

I think it is important for people to realize that these are not one-time emergencies.

I understand that Starbucks has a widespread pattern of reducing worker hours in stores that have unionized.

I would like to highlight for the witnesses and for my fellow Committee members, another type of stranded risk, in the area of stranded communities or livelihoods lost or job opportunities as well.
