On the recordMarch 9, 1995
The announcement of an Executive order banning the use of replacement workers by Federal contractors disturbs me because it appears to circumvent congressional authority to amend this Nation's labor laws. Because of this concern, I support the effort to prevent the implementation and enforcement of this order. Nevertheless, I remain a supporter of legislative attempts that would amend the National Labor Relations Act and overturn Supreme Court decisions which have weakened what I believe to be the original intent of the law--to explicitly protect a worker's economic self-help activities through the right to strike.
