On the recordFebruary 18, 2011
I yield myself 30 seconds. It's a little bit amazing to me that the gentlelady can get so focused on this. I'm the one that should be focused on it in that way and animated. The taxpayers should be animated by this. They should understand that, when the Federal Government sets union scale and drives the price up and the taxpayers can't afford it, it's not about a race to the bottom. The quality of work for my workers was always there. We take care of our people 12 months out of the year with a benefits package. We're not hiring them out of a union hall for a day, but you make us pay the price as if we were. We uphold our workers. We take care of them. We have the quality there. It's a matter of fact and it's proven, Mr. Chairman. The Acting CHAIR. The time of the gentleman has expired. Ms. DeLAURO. I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from Hawaii (Ms. Hirono).
