Involvement from employers and employees makes it a much healthier program understanding what they go through.

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Arizona will be postponed. Amendment No. 6 Offered by Mr. Thomas J. Rooney of Florida The…

I want to just bring this back home. Why in the world would you ever want to cut the wages of the men and women you represent? This is about fairness, leveling the playing field. It works, and we want to continue it. Mr. Chairman, I yield…

I thank my colleague from Illinois for yielding me the time. Certainly, we are in the House today and sending a very clear message that career and technical skills matter, and I rise in support of this bill. For a 4-year college, that…

Why do you think we're in this position today, the ambush rule as they call it?

Thank you, Chairman. And our thoughts go out for what happened today, a remarkably sad day.

This creates a lot more opportunities, but this is just trying to create fairness.

Five seconds less on your support bill, but, again, when we can work together, that's how our country will grow, not by creating the good guys and the bad guys or the union and the employer.

I'm going to bring to your attention the percentage of union workers over the course of the last quarter century.

We as a country many years ago decided that people would have a voice in the workplace, that they would be able to join unions, have collective bargaining.

It is vital we protect employment opportunities for older Americans and perhaps more important now than ever before.

I represent over 200,000 people 55 years old or older. They have worked hard to build careers, raise families, excel at their jobs.

Without this information, in many ways it would be impossible to see that.

Congress should not be in the business of destabilizing efforts that increase workers' ability to save for retirement.

I appreciate that kind introduction. It was a remarkable time sitting at the airport right there on the Delaware River and understanding how much we depend on safe, secure travel in those airports around the country. But to both Marc and…

I am concerned that if Trumpcare ever became law, just when Americans are at or approaching retirement age, they'd be facing skyrocketing premiums.

I look forward to the witnesses' testimony.

A month ago I was ready to speak right here on the floor when this bill was abruptly removed. Apparently, it wasn't bad enough that day, it wasn't harmful enough. But now it is back worse than ever. So bad, it might actually pass. I don't…

What we are trying to look at here is a win for both employers and employees.

The employee does not have that choice unless they sign off on it.

I thank Brendan--Representative Boyle--and Marc for putting together a Blue Collar Caucus just to remind ourselves what we should be doing here is focusing on jobs. Jobs, which is the best social program I have ever been with. I entered my…

The one thing I do understand, it's a partnership, that we work together.

I want to read you some statistics. Since the second term with Bush, the percentage of unionized employees in this country went down 1 year, went up the next two years, and remained stagnant for the following year.

Delay, delay, delay.

Instead of trying to divide folks, we should be focused on how we can work together.
