“I would just note that unfair labor practice violations will only disqualify an employer from DOD contracts if an employer refuses to settle a violation or remains out of compliance with the terms of that settlement. When an employer settles a violation with the NLRB and remains in compliance with the terms of their settlement, they will regain eligibility for DOD contracts. Respectfully, my colleague's concern on the other side of the aisle is misplaced. There is also a broader issue at hand. Why are we being asked to sacrifice the rights of working people to support defense capabilities? These are not mutually exclusive priorities. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.”
