There are five witnesses in the hearing, four of them are on one side of the question, one is on the other.
A bill that Mr. Courtney introduced on April 17th that would put off that rate increase for 2 years, would not add a penny to the deficit.
Mr. Andrews said it was his view that the bill introduced last Congress did not apply equally to union certification and decertification.
I agree with your assessment that absent a credible threat it would not have happened.
