as my congressman george miller has said, this is nothing less than an outsourcers bill of rights. i would say that it sound like an outsourcing bill of wrong. this would make it easier for companies to send jobs overseas and allow employers to punish workers for simply exercising their right to organize to demand better benefits and safer working conditions, to ensure a full day's pay for an honest day's work. that is what their bill would do. and democrats are fighting back.
