I have heard you and others come up here and say, oh, the PRO Act gets rid of secret ballot. I think that is just a flat-out misstatement.

Why are elected officials giving taxpayer money to a company that is willing to use any available means--illegal or not illegal--to deny workers their federally protected right?

when the middle class of this country is struggling, when people are working longer hours for lower wages, when half of our people live paycheck to paycheck, when people cannot afford health care, they cannot afford childcare, they are…

Mr. Bezos, you have enough money to buy a $500-million yacht. You have got enough money to buy a $175-million estate in Beverly Hills and a $23-million mansion right here in D.C. Given all of your wealth, how much do you need? Why are you…

If you can believe it, and, Mr. Graham, Senator Graham, this is really rather an astounding fact, according to a New York Times investigation, Amazon has a 150 percent turnover rate--150 percent.

Let me tell you, you do not take a beating from a bully, then fill his pockets with money and expect fewer beatings.

I think that solidifies secret ballot.

I wish to submit to the Senate a budget scorekeeping report. The report, which covers fiscal year 2022, was prepared by the Congressional Budget Office pursuant to section 308(b) and in aid of section 311 of the Congressional Budget Act of…

President Biden, more than any other President I can recall, has talked over and over again about being pro- union. I appreciate very much what the President has said, and I know him to be absolutely sincere when he says it. But just this…

I look forward to offering two rollcall votes on motions to instruct conferees to the so-called ``competitiveness'' bill based on the assurances given to me by the majority leader. I am not quite sure when we are going to get to that, but…

let me begin by congratulating the workers at Amazon in Staten Island, NY, who, for the very first time, were able to win a union organizing campaign against that giant corporation, which is owned by Jeff Bezos, the second wealthiest…

We have half of our people living paycheck to paycheck.

We have an oligarchy in this country, and we might want to be focusing on that as well.

the American people, based on the polling that I have seen, have had enough. They are outraged at the unprecedented level of corporate greed that is taking place all around them.

Yesterday, at a time when gasoline in America is now at a near record high of $4.17 a gallon, guess what? We have seen yesterday ExxonMobil reported that its profit from pumping oil and gas alone in the first quarter will likely hit a…

Inflation is intimately connected to record corporate profits and widening inequality. Average working people in America are being shafted.

the challenge that we are facing right now is whether we are going to live in a government--live with a government that works for all of us or is dominated by big money and trusts and works for the very few.
