                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. TIM HUELSKAMP

                               of kansas

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, June 1, 2012

  Mr. HUELSKAMP. Mr. Speaker, on rollcall No. 302, the Grimm Amendment 
to H.R. 5854, I inadvertently voted yes when I intended to vote no. I 
believe every worker should be able to decide for themselves whether or 
not they would like to join a union. Project Labor Agreements violate 
workers' rights and inhibit business growth. No one should ever face 
compulsory membership in any group. Given our current fiscal situation, 
the last thing Congress should be doing is imposing more burdensome 
regulations on businesses and workers. I am proud that Kansas is a 
Right-to-Work state, and I am committed to promoting workers' rights at 
the federal level.
