On the recordMarch 26, 1998
I wish to continue the colloquy with the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Fawell). As I was indicating, title I thus establishes a test which does not seek to overrule, does not seek to overrule Town and Country, does not infringe on the legitimate rights of bona fide employees and employee applicants to organize on behalf of unions within the workplace. Indeed the Supreme Court's holding that an individual can be a servant of two masters at the same time is similarly left untouched. Title I simply calls for at least 50 percent to be for the employer. If an applicant cannot show the NLRB's general counsel that he or she sought the job at least half because they really wanted to be an employee, then I believe we would all agree that the employer should not have to hire them.
