Political Quotes

“I would urge some of the previous speakers at some point recently to read the bill, because if they had read the bill, they would not have made the statements that were just made. In America, if we want the unemployed to have jobs, if we want working families and the underemployed to have better jobs, we need to nourish and be fair with small business. The Fortune 500 companies are not growing. The small businesses are growing and will grow faster if we are fair with them. What is wrong with someone, who mortgages everything they own to start a business, to ask for loyalty from those they hire to help them build that business, and if they are there to help them do that, they are going to support them? That is America. What is wrong with a hearing process to decide if they are being organized, and they have three or four sites, whether it is going to be a single site or collective? That is America. What is wrong with putting a limit on a decision to 1 year? A year is long enough to have delay. What is wrong with when the big NLRB, with all of our money and all of their lawyers, comes down on small businesses unfairly, and it is proven they were unfair, that that small business can at least get its legal fees back? That is the what America ought to be standing for and what America is all about. Those who have talked about all the labor issues of the past have not read this bill.”
