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

Woman, the real motives are revealed in the rhetoric. This is an attack on unions themselves. The way that our labor relations have been organized since the 1930s when the Wagner Act was passed is that private-sector labor relations are…

Woman, I reiterate that workers have the right to decertify a union if they want to under existing law and under the PRO Act. It doesn't change that. What we do is say that employers may not stop recognizing a union simply because of…

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).

I thank Representative Schakowsky for her words. I am so glad she shared that story from Loyola. It reminds me of another situation of graduate employees that many of us, our colleagues, are working on right now. Graduate employees of…

I thank the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Weber) for yielding. Mr. Speaker, when we remember the Holocaust, we look backward and forward. We look backward to remember those who perished, 6 million Jewish men, women, and children, every one of…

I remind everybody that this is a bipartisan proposal, and it has undergone substantial debate since it was first introduced over a decade ago. Over the past 10 years, Congress has deliberated on this bill through four legislative…

I am prepared to close, and I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Chair, while people may have all kinds of opinions on the underlying issue, this amendment is simply about sunshine. It simply is about good government: Will our…

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

I thank my colleague for yielding. The threshold question for any NAFTA replacement must be whether it will finally stop the outflow of American jobs and raise the standard of living for Mexican, Canadian, and, of course, American workers…

It incentivizes companies to ship jobs to Mexico and out of our communities like mine in southeast Michigan. Mexico has not demonstrated the will, meaningfully, to reform its labor system, and the weakness of USMCA's enforcement mechanisms…

Today we proclaim that no person is above the law, not even the President of the United States. Donald J. Trump abused the power of his office and violated his oath of office by extorting a new and inexperienced President of a vulnerable…

Because, make no mistake, without a two-state solution, Israel's future as a secure democratic homeland for the Jewish people will be in jeopardy. And Israelis, like the ones I visited in Netiv HaAsara, will continue to live in fear of…

I am sure we can all agree that retribution for people reporting violence in the workplace is something that is important, that people should not face retribution, that they should not fear reporting when they personally or their coworkers…

My amendment ensures that our incredible healthcare and social service workers are aware that they are legally protected from retaliation by their employers. I begin by thanking my colleague, Congressman Joe Courtney, for his hard work on…

I thank my colleague from the great State of Illinois for organizing this special session to talk about what I consider to be the single most transformative piece of legislation that we are considering right now, the PRO Act, the…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 12, line 14, strike the close quotation marks and the following period. Page 12, after line 14, insert…

I appreciate the gentleman's words, and I look forward to continuing to work with him in the spirit of bipartisanship. I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from…

My amendment seeks to recognize the role that workers everywhere play in supporting American exports and to ensure that this vital constituency has a voice in projects that impact them directly. While the Export-Import Bank works to help…
