Ms. DEAN, Messrs. HECK, CUNNINGHAM, Ms. BASS, Mr. ROY, Ms. DeLAURO,
Messrs. GROTHMAN, MEADOWS, WALDEN, SUOZZI, PAYNE, and NADLER changed
their vote from ``aye'' to ``no.''
Mr. KUSTOFF of Tennessee changed his vote from ``no'' to ``aye.''
So the amendment was rejected.
The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
Mr. McCARTHY. Mr. Chair, I was unavoidably detained. Had I been
present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 19.
The Acting CHAIR (Mr. Cicilline). There being no further amendments
under the rule, the Committee rises.
Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr.
Cuellar) having assumed the chair, Mr. Cicilline, Acting Chair of the
Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union, reported that
that Committee, having had under consideration the bill (H.R. 1230) to
amend the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 and other laws
to clarify appropriate standards for Federal employment discrimination
and retaliation claims, and for other purposes, and, pursuant to House
Resolution 790, he reported the bill, as amended by that resolution,
back to the House with sundry further amendments adopted in the
Committee of the Whole.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under the rule, the previous question is
ordered.
Is a separate vote demanded on any further amendment reported from
the Committee of the Whole? If not, the Chair will put them en gros.
The amendments were agreed to.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the engrossment and third
reading of the bill.
The bill was ordered to be engrossed and read a third time, and was
read the third time.
Motion to Recommit
Mr. SMUCKER. Mr. Speaker, I have a motion to recommit at the desk.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentleman opposed to the bill?
Mr. SMUCKER. Mr. Speaker, I am in its current form.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to
recommit.
The Clerk read as follows:
Mr. Smucker moves to recommit the bill (H.R. 1230) to the
Committee on Education and Labor, with instructions to report
the bill back to the House forthwith with the following
amendment:
At the end of the bill, add the following:
SEC. __. RULE OF CONSTRUCTION.
Nothing in this Act shall be construed to alter the status
of a truck driver as an independent contractor if the truck
driver is currently considered to be an independent
contractor under Federal law.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from
Pennsylvania is recognized for 5 minutes in support of his motion.
Mr. SMUCKER. Mr. Speaker, this motion to recommit ensures that
nothing in H.R. 1230 shall be construed to alter the status of a truck
driver who is an independent contractor if the truck driver is
currently considered to be an independent contractor under Federal law.
Mr. Speaker, Democrats in Congress and in State legislatures across
the country are currently working to enact an unnecessary, backward-
looking, and confusing legal standard for determining employee status.
Their standard would deprive millions of Americans of the opportunity
to work independently and to start their own businesses.
It seems like bad ideas like this often start off in California, and
the Democrats' desire to all but eliminate independent contracting is
no exception. A California law, known as Assembly Bill 5, is wreaking
havoc on workers in industries ranging from freelance journalism to
ride-sharing and many more.
The result is heart-wrenching stories from workers whose livelihoods
have been turned upside down because Democrats have pushed through a
radical leftwing policy.
Interestingly, California Democrats carved out some of their favorite
friends, but truck drivers were not exempted, despite their opposition,
despite their rally at the State Capitol, which included blaring their
truck horns and all.
Fortunately for truck drivers, a district court has recently issued a
temporary restraining order blocking enforcement of the law against
independent truck drivers in the State.
But it doesn't end there. Democrats right here in Congress continue
this assault on independent contractors.
Mr. Speaker, 215 House Democrats have cosponsored the PRO Act,
legislation that would take the text of California's anti-independent
contractor law and make it Federal law, with no exemptions for truck
drivers, or anyone else, for that matter.
[[Page H272]]
Let me say this again. The Democrats' legislation pending in the
House, on which, by the way, the majority leader promised a vote by
President's Day, would impose California's anti-independent contractor
law on every business in America.
Independent contracting today allows millions of American families
the opportunity to live their own American Dream.
I started my own career as an independent contractor operating my own
drywall company at the age of 17. The flexibility this status offered
allowed me to grow the business, building a team of hundreds of
employees with family-sustaining jobs over the course of 25 years.
Independent truck drivers specifically are able to invest in their
own careers and work for themselves on their own schedules while
powering the American economy across the country.
Mr. Speaker, according to the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers
Association, there are over 350,000 owner-operator independent truck
drivers in the United States. Their average net income in 2018 was well
over $50,000, more than their professional employee-driver
counterparts.
Last August, I participated in a ride with my constituent Randy
Martin, who is owner-operator of Peachey Transport in Denver,
Pennsylvania. Randy has grown a successful business hauling premier
Lancaster County farm products.
He has been driving trucks since 1984 and shared with me that this
career has allowed him to provide for his family while becoming a
successful entrepreneur. It has allowed him and his family to achieve
their own American Dream.
Randy isn't the only one. In 2017, a company collected stories from
drivers on why they love trucking. One driver, Susan Couch, said:
I never knew a trucking job would become a passion and how
much this career would change my life. It has allowed me to
be independent and support my son alone. It has given me
strength I never knew I had.
Tu Ngo told the San Francisco Chronicle that owning his own truck
allows him to pursue the American Dream he was seeking when he fled
Vietnam in 1982.
Eduardo Rangel values the flexibility he has to attend his young
son's soccer games.
The stories are endless.
Independent truck driving provides a steady, stable, rewarding, and
prosperous livelihood for thousands of American workers.
Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support these American workers.
I urge them to support this motion to recommit. A ``yes'' vote is a
vote to support prosperity and to support free enterprise.
Don't let hardworking Americans become victims of a misguided labor
scheme cooked up by socialist Democrats in California and right here in
the U.S. Congress. Rather, vote ``yes'' to allow workers all across the
country to prosper and to live their own American Dream.
Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
Ms. WILD. Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to this motion to
recommit.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from Pennsylvania is
recognized for 5 minutes.
Ms. WILD. Mr. Speaker, I am not sure that my colleague and friend
from Pennsylvania has read the same bill that I did that we are voting
on tonight.
This bill, the Protecting Older Workers Against Discrimination Act,
has nothing to do with truck drivers, and it has nothing to do with
independent contractors.
This motion to recommit is nothing more than a distraction from the
very important legislation that is embodied in this bill. This MTR has
nothing to do with discrimination against older workers, which is what
we are seeking to protect against.
Why do my friends and colleagues across the aisle want to hurt older
working Americans? This legislation, H.R. 1230, was drawn up to fix the
damage that has been done by the Supreme Court decision in Gross v. FBL
in 2009, which severely weakened age discrimination protections.
Since that decision was made, both the Supreme Court and the lower
courts have relied on it and applied the Gross reasoning to the other
civil rights laws so that it doesn't just hurt older working Americans
who are the focus of this legislation, but other people who suffer from
employment discrimination.
The bill we are considering today is the bare bones of what is needed
to rectify the damage caused by that decision. This bill represents a
bipartisan, bicameral effort that has been 10 years in the making.
H.R. 1230 amends the Nation's core civil rights laws to expressly
allow for mixed-motive claims, meaning, when an employer claims
multiple motives for terminating an employee, one of which is age
discrimination, that that will not be permitted.
Since the Gross decision in 2009, age discrimination continues to be
a significant barrier to job opportunities. When older workers lose
their jobs, they are far more likely than other workers to join the
ranks of the long-term or permanent unemployed.
Significantly, approximately 61 percent of older workers have either
seen or experienced age discrimination in the workplace.
In 2018, the EEOC received nearly 17,000 age discrimination
complaints, accounting for more than 20 percent of all discrimination
charges filed. While most older workers say they have seen or
experienced age discrimination, only 3 percent report having made a
formal complaint. These trends have a profound impact on the economic
security of older workers and their families.
This law has nothing to do with truckers and nothing to do with
independent contractors. This motion to recommit is a mockery of this
important legislation that is designed to protect older working
Americans.
I urge my colleagues to stand up for older workers and the
protections that they need and deserve.
Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Scott), the
chairman of the committee.
Mr. SCOTT of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, this is, as my colleague has
indicated, a distraction. This has nothing to do with truck drivers or
the PRO Act. We are talking about discrimination against older workers.
We are talking about victims of discrimination, not who gets to
discriminate against them.
We have a problem that older workers are facing discrimination, and
everybody knows it. National organizations representing senior
citizens, advocacy groups, and civil rights groups, including the AARP,
have all written letters asking us to protect workers against
discrimination.
We are correcting the Supreme Court case and the Gross decision,
which makes it very difficult, if not impossible, for older workers to
prove their cases. We need to defeat this distraction and pass the bill
to protect older workers against discrimination.
Mr. Speaker, I hope we can defeat the motion and pass the bill.
Ms. WILD. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the previous question is
ordered on the motion to recommit.
There was no objection.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion to recommit.
The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that
the noes appeared to have it.
Recorded Vote
Mr. SMUCKER. Mr. Speaker, I demand a recorded vote.
A recorded vote was ordered.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XX, this 5-
minute vote on the motion to recommit will be followed by a 5-minute
vote on the passage of the bill, if ordered.
The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 196,
