On the recordJune 10, 2021
It is unfortunate that the Senate won't choose to make available to private sector workers options that are already available to government employees. Just to reiterate here, under this legislation, employers are not required to offer it; employees are not required to take it. This just eliminates the vestigial remains of labor laws passed decades ago that denied workers and employers this option. They keep that open for government workers. That is discriminatory. It is unfair, and it ought to end.
