Issue Position: Stopping Corporate Abuse of Workers and Investors

Issue Position

Beginning with the so-called "Contract with America", Republicans in Congress, and now in the White House, have systematically dismantled many of the safeguards that protected investors and workers from the dishonest acts of corporate executives. The consequence is that we now have a legal and regulatory climate that has resulted in thousands of Americans losing their hard earned savings and caused a crisis of confidence in our markets. Our task now is to undo the harm done since 1995, to protect workers' pensions and to restore investor confidence in our markets. Congress has taken a modest step in the right direction on this issue, but there is much more to be done.
