PROVIDING FOR A CORRECTION IN THE ENROLLMENT OF H.J. RES. 100
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Under the previous order, the Senate will now
proceed to consideration of H. Con. Res. 119, which the clerk will
report.
The legislative clerk read as follows:
A concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 119) providing for a
correction in the enrollment of H.J. Res. 100.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Vermont.
Mr. SANDERS. Mr. President, the American people are increasingly
disgusted at the level of corporate greed that we see today. We have
more income and wealth inequality in America now than we have had in
100 years--billionaires getting richer, working people falling further
and further behind.
And there is no clearer example of corporate greed than what we see
in the rail industry today.
In the last year, that industry earned $21 billion in profits--
recordbreaking--and provided $25 billion in stock buybacks and
dividends to their wealthy shareholders. And yet, today, in that
industry, workers who do difficult and dangerous work have zero paid
sick days. Zero. You get sick, you get a mark against you; couple of
marks, you get fired. This cannot and must not happen in America in
2022.
This amendment simply says 7 paid sick days for workers in the rail
industry, and I hope we can win it.
