“Absolutely. This is taking place in thousands and thousands of plants in your State, in my State, in every State here. The law has permitted explosive growth in cooperative programs and employee involvement plans. The committee report claims that 75 percent, as you pointed out, of all employers use employee involvement; 96 percent of large employers do so. That has occurred without this so-called TEAM Act. I agree, it is misnamed. The law has not changed one iota with respect to company unions in 61 years. The TEAM Act is completely unnecessary.”
