On the recordMarch 9, 2021
Today, I rise in opposition to H.R. 842. Like many other bills in this Congress, the majority has rushed this bill to the floor with no deliberation in committee. To be clear, I have never opposed union rights to organize. In fact, I have worked with them on some valid issues. However, this bill, among its many concerning provisions, denies States' rights. As a former State senator, I believe it is unconstitutional to deny my State of Indiana and our constituents the ability to decide for themselves whether to join a union. In short, the PRO Act is an antibusiness, antiworker, and antifree enterprise socialist agenda. I urge my colleagues to vote against this radical bill.
