“Unnecessary delays only serve one purpose, and that is to enable antiunion employers to have more time to expose employees to their campaign against the union. I have so much respect for my colleague on the other side, but to say that we should not protect our workers because of a union boss? They are not bosses. They are elected by the membership. We should be promoting employee free choice by ensuring that their vote is untainted by an employer delay or interference. Once the NLRB determines that an election should go forward, it should happen as soon as possible. I urge a ``yes'' vote on my amendment and this bill, and I reserve the balance of my time.”
