      HOUSE REPUBLICANS CONTINUE TO LEAD THE WAY ON CREATING JOBS

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, last week, House 
Education and Workforce Committee Chairman John Kline of Minnesota 
introduced the Workforce Democracy and Fairness Act. This act is a 
direct response to the National Labor Relations Board's recent reckless 
action to rush union elections. The NLRB is again showing favoritism 
toward union bosses at the expense of rights of workers and employers.
  As an original cosponsor of this legislation, I am grateful to stand 
up against the powerful unions and their leaders. This legislation 
ensures employers, small businesses, are able to participate in a fair 
union election process. It helps workers make an informed choice. Best 
of all, it safeguards the privacy of workers.
  In Right-to-Work States, such as South Carolina, workers are 
protected, new well-paying jobs are created, and votes of all citizens 
are respected. This legislation prevents NLRB from limiting such 
freedoms in the workplace.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
