Maybe, just maybe, I don't know--this might be a foreign concept to my friends on the other side of the aisle, but maybe employees are pretty darn happy with the work environment they are in. If they are not, they have a choice to go…

This amendment prohibits the use of funds for the National Labor Relations Board to implement or enforce the Cemex decision, which imposes a backdoor card-check scheme. This ruling threatens to take away secret ballot elections for…

Allowing for secret ballot union elections free of coercion, intimidation, and threats should be a pretty easy concept to support, regardless of your party or union status. Now, my good friend from the other side says blocking enforcement…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. ___. None of the funds made…

This amendment prohibits the use of funds for the National Labor Relations Board to implement, administer, or enforce its representation case procedures rule, which imposes ambush elections for unionization. This rule imposes ambush…

The chairwoman talks about the violence against workers from trying to form unions. Of course, we know the labor history, but this isn't the 1800s. It is not 1910. It is not the Pinkertons and the Vanderbilts and the Carnegies. It is 2023…

My friend from the other side would like you to believe that mining companies want to kill all their employees. I assure you they do not. I also assure you that we won't go to a position where there will be no regulations. We will have…

This amendment prohibits the use of funds for the Mine Safety and Health Administration to finalize, implement, or enforce its proposed silica rule. The Mine Safety and Health Administration's proposed silica rule is overly broad and fails…

I thank the gentlewoman. Just because we could increase the funding and there was an agreement to increase funding across the board to some level doesn't mean we have to. I know it is a news flash to everybody in this town, but next month…

I do applaud the chairman of this committee for making the cuts to the NLRB that he has made. They should be made. Obviously, the NLRB is running amuck. They must have too much time on their hands or too many resources. Did my colleague on…

This amendment halves the funding for the taxpayer-funded activists at the National Labor Relations Board. The National Labor Relations Board is supposed to act to prevent and remedy unfair labor practices committed by private-sector…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 162, line 11, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $100,000,000)''. Page 195, line 9, after…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. __. None of the funds made…

I talked to you about the true cost of the rule. Given the true cost of the proposed rule, it will put mines out of business, which is really the intent of this rulemaking by the MSHA. The absurdity of this cost estimate necessitates that…

As I said, the ambush election simply shortens the time between the filing of a petition for a union election and the election itself. Nobody on this side of the aisle has any issue or problem with collective bargaining or the ability to…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. __. None of the funds made…

What percentage--like, if we send a dollar how much of that dollar should go to the Taliban?

It is amazing to me somehow this country made it a couple hundred years without the CFPB, and now we can't wake up in the morning without it. The CFPB operates off a fundamentally flawed assumption that our fellow Americans, the little…

Ever since its ill-advised inception and inclusion in the Dodd-Frank Act, Republicans have been largely unified about many, many issues with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Its unconstitutional, unaccountable leadership structure…

Well, the gentleman said it over and over again--you are on your own, implying that we are saying you are on your own. In 2019, we were on our own somehow, I guess, because that is what this goes back to. Somehow, we made it to 2023, by…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 95, line 25, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $66,830,000)''. Page 217, line 16, after…

This amendment reduces the amount available for salaries and expenses of the Federal Trade Commission to FY19 levels at just over $306 million. It should come as no surprise that I disagree with the Biden administration's weaponization of…

The good gentleman from the State of Maryland says, well, you are on your own. You are on your own. I don't know.

I remind everybody that the CFPB was an all- Democrat conference. There were no Republicans. Mr. Chair, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Norman).

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 73, line 14, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $635,000,000)''. Page 217, line 16, after…
