Press Release

Date: April 3, 2014
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Employment and Affirmative Action

Today, U.S. Congressman Dave Joyce (OH-14) voted in favor of H.R. 2575, the Save American Workers Act. Joyce, a cosponsor of the bill, released the following statement:

"While three out of four Americans are already living paycheck to paycheck, the 30-hour rule in Obamacare is resulting in fewer jobs, reduced hours and lower wages for many hardworking families," Joyce said. "Whether in the workplace or at the doctor's office, we need to get Washington out of the way. Today I voted with my House colleagues to restore the 40-hour work week and protect jobs in Northeastern Ohio."

The Save American Workers Act passed the House in a vote of 248-179.
