Jackie Speier said "I thank the gentlewoman from Illinois (Ms. Schakowsky) for her comments on this Special Order. As she said at the end, she is one of the loudest voices to make sure there is justice in this country. Madam Speaker, we could tell many more stories tonight, but I am going to close now by thanking all of my colleagues from the Democratic Women's Caucus for sharing the stories of women and men who are hurt by forced arbitration and demonstrating the human impact of this corrupt and abusive practice. We are eager to have the House of Representatives take a vote on the FAIR Act on the House floor because survivors deserve their day in court and workers deserve dignified and respectful workplaces. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair would remind Members to avoid referencing occupants of the gallery. ___________________
