Political Quotes

On the recordNovember 8, 2017
as President Trump continues to undermine worker protections and prioritize corporate profits, it is very critical that the NLRB is independent and is committed to promoting collective bargaining. When corporations try to take advantage of their employees, workers should be able to turn to the NLRB to intervene. Unfortunately, Mr. Robb's career as a corporate lawyer fighting against workers gives me great concern he will not have workers' best interest at heart in this role. So I will be voting no on this nomination, and I urge my colleagues to stand up for workers and do the same. I yield back our time. The PRESIDING OFFICER. All time is yielded back. The question is, Will the Senate advise and consent to the Robb nomination?
