On the recordFebruary 6, 2020
Because of the force of labor unions, American workers have higher wages and workplaces that are fairer and safer. And we can thank labor unions for things like employee health coverage, the end of child labor, and a 40-hour work week. To counter the power of collective bargaining, some in corporate America have struck back by harassing union organizers, denying information to employees, and using independent contractors. That is why I am voting for the Protecting the Right to Organize Act of 2019, to defend and secure our labor unions, the champions of the American workers. I urge support of this amendment and the bill.
