Political Quotes

“Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to have printed in the Record three additional letters of support from the Motor and Equipment Manufacturers Association and National Council of Textile Organizers and the Building Owners and Managers Association International. There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in the Record, as follows: The Motor & Equipment Manufacturers Association (MEMA) represents over 700 companies that manufacture motor vehicle parts for use in the light vehicle and heavy-duty original equipment and aftermarket industries. Motor vehicle parts suppliers are the nation's largest manufacturing sector, directly employing over 685,000 U.S. workers and contributing to over 3.2 million jobs across the country. MEMA urges your boss to support S.J. Res. 36 and help overturn the ``ambush election'' rule, which is part of the NLRB's aggressive and unchecked regulatory agenda. Parts manufacturers are very concerned by recent unnecessary and unwarranted actions by the NLRB that threaten employer- employee relations as well as job growth and productivity. MEMA members strongly oppose the NLRB's ambush election rule which would shorten the time frame during which union elections may be held, limiting an employer's ability to prepare for an election and an employee's opportunity to make an informed decision about joining a union. Please contact Ann McCulloch at amcculloch@mema.org or 202 312 9241 with any questions.…”
