On the recordMarch 1, 2007
As much as I appreciate my friend from New Jersey's comments, in the committee we had a different amendment which said that nobody hired in the last 30 days before an election could vote, and then we wouldn't have had to be discriminatory. But, of course, that was defeated unanimously on the Democratic side. This amendment tries to address it in another way, because we weren't allowed to address it in the other way, and it was defeated. I support this because, in fact, people who aren't committed to the company come in for the sole purpose of unionizing, and we haven't been allowed to address it in any way.
