Virginia Foxx said "This amendment is a weak attempt to lend lip service to employee privacy, but it fails to reduce the PRO Act's invasion of workers' personal lives. Simply because this amendment says the bill shall not be construed to affect employee privacy does not make it so. This amendment will not affect the PRO Act's mandate forcing employers to share employees' home addresses, home phone numbers, cell phone numbers, personal email addresses, and more with union organizers without giving workers any say in the matter or ensuring that their personal information is protected. The PRO Act's provision is an invasion of privacy, and empty rhetoric in this fig leaf amendment does nothing to fix this harmful mandate. Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
