Ed Markey

It is a tribute to your ongoing commitment to public service that you are sticking with this process.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, very much. Thank you, Ranking Member Ernst.

We need the full team on the floor because our economy is driven by small businesses.

People going to work with the protections of a union contract are more incentivized to commit to longer careers.

I think under the American Recovery Act of the Biden Administration, we fixed a lot of those wrongs, bad behavior by corporations who claimed bankruptcy and then pointed the fingers at union pension funds saying they were mismanaged.

Major airlines receive billions in Federal dollars, but instead of using funds to shore up the air travel industry, they're raking in record profits off the backs of these lowest-paid workers.

The problem of companies skirting their pension obligations through bankruptcy is an important trend occurring in our Nation right now.

I am proud of my staff for embodying the commitment not to agonize, but to organize.

Who have a champion in Senator Murray with the Child Care for Working Families Act.

Under Schultz's leadership, Starbucks continues to repeatedly and shamelessly stand in the way of partners who are demanding a voice in their workplace.

It is ridiculous that the future of tens of thousands of Starbucks workers is up to the whims of just one person.

Corporations have rigged the rules of our economy against working people to maximize their own profits.

We need to write new rules that protect all workers black, brown, and white to ensure that we can all thrive.

They took the risk for all the rest of our families, and they just don't get rewarded in the system.

Eddie, you can't beg for your rights, you have to fight for them.

Workers' demands are big and bold, and they are necessary to rebalance the scales of our economy.

It is time for elected officials to heed workers' demands.

Massachusetts is the birthplace of the community health center movement in the United States.

Talk about what can be done to ensure that there is better coordination between community health centers and hospitals.

Health justice is not just about affording health care. Health justice means people can get the health care when and where they need it.

Community health centers proved how vital they were in the early stages of the COVID pandemic.

Climate change is bringing intensifying floods, fires, and pandemics.

Massachusetts is the birthplace of the community health center movement in the United States.

I think that is the only smart way of looking at it, how they all interact to create the harm.
