I appreciate that Commissioner, and to illustrate Mr. Chairman, one aspect that you've raised as well in that the impact--the terrible impact from these fires...
Congress must change the law to include penalties so that corporations think twice before violating workers' rights.
We need to regulate employer use of surveillance technologies and ensure workers have knowledge of and access to whatever information is being collected.
I have been working on for 13 years. We can visit later. It is a piece of legislation that encourages harmony and bringing people together.
