Smith to Casey: 'Support Common Sense Labor Reform'

Statement

Date: June 13, 2012
Location: Pittsburgh, PA
Issues: Labor Unions

Tom Smith, candidate for United States Senate, today called on Senator Bob Casey Jr. to support the common sense labor reform expressed in S. 3221, the Rewarding Achievement and Incentivizing Successful Employees (RAISE) Act:

"As a former member of the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA), I support this common sense labor reform that will increase the rights of union workers, and I hope Senator Casey will join me," said Smith. "As an employer, I know the RAISE Act will empower American employees to earn compensation they deserve, something that has been thwarted by the board of unelected bureaucrats at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to date, and some labor leaders favoring partisan politics over job creation. Every American worker deserves an equal opportunity to be rewarded for their hard work and success."
