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…

I thank Representative Pressley for being such a great champion for workers in Massachusetts and in our whole country. Madam Speaker, I now yield to the gentlewoman from Illinois (Ms. Schakowsky).

May I inquire how much time I have remaining. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Michigan has 45 seconds remaining.

Woman, I rise in opposition to this amendment. The Acting Chair (Ms. Pingree). The gentleman is recognized for 5 minutes.
