Madam Speaker, I thank the chairman so much for his leadership. Madam Speaker, at base, what we are talking about here is whether workers in this country are free to come together and form a union. All of these amendments are designed to undermine that right. Let's get back to the basic concept of a free market for workers, where they, prounion or antiunion, can decide amongst themselves whether they want to form a union or not, and not have the person in the world who has the most power over them, their boss, who decides their wages and their hours, to pressure them, to force them to listen to things, to subject them to propaganda. The PRO Act simply creates freedom for workers to form unions, at long last, so that the workers who want to form a union can do so freely.
