After seeing the mayhem in California unfold over this disastrous legislation, I don't see how anyone could support nationalizing the exact rule that was voted down by the people of California.

The Pro Act will put the burden of proof on employers to prove that they didn't interfere in a union election rather than the party claiming that they did.

In my State of Louisiana, Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina, Mississippi, right to work states have the highest percentage of African-Americans in the Nation.

This Pro Act is not going to do anything for us, especially for the people that run this country.

When you need that many carve-outs, you know you've got a lousy law.

The ABC test is not new . . . it's being done by half of the states in this country for the purpose of wage and hours and other benefits and unemployment insurance . . . so, what it does is codify that standard so that it would apply in…

Violating the rights of workers across America to prop up an outdated system that benefits Washington elites is not the answer.

The fact that union membership has fallen, and income inequality has risen in many respects has no relationship whatsoever.

Independent contractors such as gig workers will be made employees under the Pro Act, limiting these workers' ability to pick jobs and schedules that work for them and their families.

Respectfully, we do not need a one-size-fits-all approach to defining who is an employee and/or and independent contractor.

I'm deeply concerned by recent efforts to nationalize the so-called 'A-B-C' test for worker classification.

You want to take your, some--apparently there is a lot of people that want to get married in [inaudible].

I believe in that statement. But the Pro Act would tip the scales.

The Pro Act will force employers to provide unions with work shift information and employees' personal contact information during organizing elections.

The Pro Act will change the very definition of an employer by codifying the 2015 standard expanding joint employer status.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a disproportionate and devastating impact on communities of color.

I would like to talk to Mr. Brooks about the importance of financial literacy for some portion of my time.

Far too many Americans living paycheck to paycheck, including vulnerable populations facing poverty, and some with disabilities, retirement seems out of reach.

We must find ways to eliminate the employment gap and the wage gap faced by people with disabilities and folks in communities of color.

It is important for us to recognize that financial literacy is critically important.

That is fantastic. It allows you to transfer those resources or the benefits to your employees through the additional matching opportunities.

How important is this reform for those living in the underserved communities? How can we continue this progress?

You look for ways to hire folks who are very talented, who might have varying skill sets, different talents, but also different challenges to coming to the workforce.

It is really important for us to recognize that many of us are blessed.

We should start the conversation not when we are in our 50's or early 60's, but in our 20's.
