“There is a very fundamental, a very fundamental difference between these two pieces of legislation. We believe that one of the fundamental differences is about really preserving the truly voluntary choice by the employee, about truly voluntary flexible scheduling by the employee and making sure again that preserving the choice of the employee about when to use his time. We also have a very fundamental difference, and a number of my colleagues from the other side of the aisle spoke to it. We believe that there are people unfortunately in this country who are very vulnerable workers, who work in industries with a long history of running on their workers' pay, on not sending their contributions to the State unemployment board, of not sending the tax contributions to the IRS, of not paying into Social Security. Unfortunately, some of these people may be well intentioned but rather under capitalized, and they constantly are taking what the employee has earned and using that to run their business, and then the employee is left holding the bag.”
