“I submit for the record a letter of support for the Save American Workers Act from the National Grocers Association on behalf of their members and on behalf of their workers, and I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Rothfus). National Grocers Association, Arlington, VA, March 31, 2014. Hon. John Boehner, Speaker, Washington, DC. Hon. Eric Cantor, Majority Leader, Washington, DC. Hon. Nancy Pelosi, Democratic Leader, Washington, DC. Hon. Steny Hoyer, Democratic Whip, Washington, DC. Dear Speaker Boehner, Leader Pelosi, Leader Cantor, and Representative Hoyer: The National Grocers Association (NGA) supports H.R. 2575, the Save American Workers Act (SAW), a bill introduced by Representative Todd Young (R-IN) and championed by Representative Dan Lipinski (D-IL). The bill has broad support in the House, with 210 bipartisan co- sponsors. NGA strongly encourages the House to pass the bill with bipartisan support during the vote scheduled for the week of March 31. We commend Majority Leader Cantor for bringing H.R. 2575 to the Floor for what will hopefully be an overwhelming vote in support of the bill. H.R. 2575 addresses one of the most problematic provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) by amending the definition of a full-time employee, which the ACA currently defines as those averaging 30 hours a week. Left unchanged, this provision will have far reaching consequences on the independent supermarket industry.…”
