Patty Murray

We are not anywhere close to meeting the demand out there, but there is real demand.

I have been working with my colleague, Senator Casey, on legislation now to develop and institute some better training and reporting and data collection.

We need to know what we are doing. September is coming on us fast.

I am deeply concerned that we do not have a budget agreement and allocations across the board yet.

This approach will not fix our crumbling roads, replace lead water pipes, or build new schools.

The administration talks about more money for infrastructure but cuts successful and popular programs like TIGER.

We should not hand it over to a nongovernmental entity that is not answerable to Congress or the courts.

The private sector does many, many things well, but it does not do everything better.

Taken together, the NLRA and the Taft-Hartley amendments encourage and protect workers' rights to organize and collective bargain if they so choose.

The National Labor Relations Board is responsible... for ensuring employees have the right to self-organization...

Thank you for holding a timely hearing on the nominations of Marvin Kaplan and William Emanuel to serve on the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).

Mr. Kaplan and Mr. Emanuel are both extremely qualified to serve as members of the Board.

I urge the Senate to quickly confirm Marvin Kaplan and William Emanuel to serve on the National Labor Relations Board.

On behalf of the American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA), I write in strong support of President Trump's nominations of Patrick Pizzella to be Deputy Labor Secretary; and Marvin Kaplan and William Emanuel to be Members of the National…

IEC applauds President Trump for his choices to serve as the next members of the NLRB.

The preamble of the NLRA says it is the policy of the United States to encourage collective bargaining.

I will be interested in hearing whether you agree that rolling back worker protections, prioritizing corporate special interests, and gutting DOL is in the best interest of our workers.

Your lack of legal experience, as we talked about, practicing before the NLRB is really concerning to me.

I have strong reservations about your ability to protect those workers now, since you've spent a career fighting against them.

I believe it is critical now more than ever that we are doing everything we can to ensure that every worker has a fair shot.

I'm disappointed that you did not hear my request for separate hearings on these extremely important positions.

If Republican leaders abandon this ideological commitment to undermining our healthcare system and giving a tax break to corporations and billionaires, Democrats are willing--we are ready and willing to work with you.

What we are hearing is that it will have the same results of higher costs for working families, loss of coverage for tens of millions of people.

I'm sure you're not surprised that I'm going to once again object to the fact that we have not had a hearing on the Trumpcare plan.

President Trump's businesses have repeatedly been the subject of cases at the NLRB.
