"We must work to honor and protect tribal sovereignty while also respecting workers' rights and discussing the implications of this bill on these two issues is where we begin."

"I fully support the sovereignty of Native Americans, and I know many of us place a great deal of importance on self-governance, localized control, and the independence of tribal nations."

"As we have discussed hundreds of times, unions are the key to shrinking the wage gap, raising up the middle-class and creating good paying jobs."

"This bill highlights the inherent tension between two important principles that many of us hold dear: tribal sovereignty over Indian nations and workers' rights."
