“I want to pick up on this issue of worker displacement because I do not think we got the full answer. I am reading from the bill, section 485 of the bill. Subsection (C) talks about nondisplacement. "In general, no funds provided under this Act shall be used in a manner that would result in the displacement of any currently employed worker"--I accept that as meaning maybe someone who would be fired--"or the impairment of existing contracts for services or collective bargaining agreements." Well, what does that mean? It means that if you have any position that is a part of a collective bargaining agreement or contracted service, which just about every city and State position is part of a collective bargaining agreement, you cannot fill that.”
