Congressman Gregory W. Meeks Statement on the Workforce Democracy and Fairness Act

(WASHINGTON, DC) – Congressman Gregory W. Meeks (D-NY), senior member of the House Financial Services Committee and Foreign Affairs Committee released the following statement on Workforce Democracy and Fairness Act :

The Workforce Democracy and Fairness Act is an attack on employees and collective bargaining. At a time when America is in need of a laser focus on job creation, Republican leadership is intent on eroding the rights of working Americans. Unions and collective bargaining are part of the tradition of this nation and have promoted progress and prosperity for countless Americans. This anti working class Republican bill seeks to undercut workers’ rights and does nothing to enhance democracy, fairness, or job creation.
