let me remind everyone, this is to protect the rights of workers and to clarify a labor law that has not been changed in 54 years, and under the amendment offered by my good friend from California (Mr. George Miller), remember, we would create a double standard for employees. Those who do the same job, but if you were hired the day before this bill takes effect, you are grandfathered. If you are hired the day after, you are not grandfathered, and so you would have two employees sitting side by side in a cubicle doing the same identical work being treated differently under the law. I do not think that is what this Congress wants.
