may not have been may not be familiar with the work of the nlrb, may not be familiar with some of thedescribed. did i describe them accurately? is there anything else that people should understand about the basic functioning of the of the board and what they do? >> the only thing i would just add is that the nlrb protects employees, even if they're not part of a union. so if workers are complaining about working conditions or in particular, and they want to speak with their coworkers about it, they're protected under the under the law of the national labor relations act, in addition to circumstances where employees may be disciplined as a result of engaging in that type of activity or union activity. and they're if they're being retaliated against, then they would be protected by the national labor relations board. and it's correct that we you know, as a result of my removal, there are only two board members. and so we cannot the board cannot function in terms of issuing decisions. >> does that include what whole foods is alleging, which is. well, yeah, that that union vote may have h

and it's the nlrb investigations.f they're not enough, musk is also on the hook with osha for the death of a tesla factory worker in austin, texas. the record is clear -- elon musk is anti-worker and anti-labor. we will not allow the shadow government that musk is leading to destroy government agencies that protect workers. elon musk, we have got a message for you. you will be fired. people across all the states and capitals throughout the country are rising up and saying that we cannot have an unelected someone who has not been vetted, someone who has not taken an oath to protect the interests of the people of the united states. thank you very much. next, i'd like to introduce representative mciver. >> thank you so much, whip. my name is la monica mciver. i represent new jersey's 10th congressional district. thank you to our chair and our whip for the comments. i am here to simply say that elon musk, you're fired. i went to the treasury department on tuesday and joined with hundreds of other americans and many of my

80% of people of the time when working people petitioned the nlrb to start a union, they got a union within. a decade of reagan's war on unions. by 1990, it was down to 56%. now i've not been able to find the percentage. now i've looked for it, but i'm guessing it's a lot, lot lower than that. it certainly has been lower than that recently. and the supreme court has over the last 25 years or so done. it's in my book on the supreme court, a whole lot of things that make it much, much harder for unions to exist, much less, you know, recruit people so, you know, widespread, high rate on obscene wealth and a reasonable tax rate on all the rest of the wealth, you know, social net programs, strengthening social security and medicare, you know, bottom line, you know, we want to live we don't want to live in a poor country. and and sadly, we've more and more of us have become have been poor as a result of these policies that that once again, i think it's real important to point this out. we're born in large part out of good intentions, and it has just blown up in our faces and, you know, for

the last piece of that is it's and i hate to get into the weeds on this, but it's governed by the nlrb, the national labor relations board. and this week, donald trump got rid of the fifth member of that fired them. he has the right to do that. but now they can't make quorum and file or take what do you call disciplinary actions on that board because they can't have a quorum. so i think all of this is connected. >> so it sounds like really flooding the zone in terms of all the things that are happening. as a republican, do you have issues with the fact that the pace might be more than even republicans can look at? >> i'm not necessarily opposed to moving quick if it's orderly, so move quick. but in an ordered process. again, if the promise to the american people is that we've got to save more money. we're looking at inefficiencies, duplications within federal agencies. we're going to figure out how we can reduce size of inter-governmental departments and maybe merge them into others. that's going to save hundreds of millions, billions here. then collectively, you look at a couple of hu
