Protecting the Right to Organize Act of 2019

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. GROTHMAN. Mr. Chairman, I am going to address on this bill something that I assume has been addressed before but, nevertheless, of all the provisions of the bill I find most offensive.

Under this bill, the employers are required to give the telephone number, the email, and the address of each employee. I do believe in the importance of protecting people's privacy, and to say that, by wanting to have a union election, you have the right to find out where every possible person lives I think is offensive, not to mention I think it would be very scary to have somebody come home one night and they find somebody there waiting for them to talk about the union election.

You have to wonder what are these people doing here. And then you are: Oh, they are here to deal with this.

It is hard for me to believe that a party that purports to look out for women and that sort of thing is going to turn around and pass a bill saying we are going to hand out everybody's address.
