Foxx Slams Workers United for Ignoring Inquiry on Ties to Union Organizer

Letter

Date: Aug. 17, 2023
Location: Washington, D.C.
Issues: Labor Unions

On July 17, 2023, the Committee on Education and the Workforce sent you a letter regarding a potential employment relationship between Michelle Eisen and Workers United when Ms. Eisen testified at a hearing before the then-Committee on Education and Labor on September 14, 2022. … The Committee requested a response by July 31, 2023, but you have failed to respond.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Workers United's apparent decision to ignore this request is unacceptable. … In total, the letter asked just five questions. Since you have declined to respond to these basic interrogatories, the Committee is forced to request documentation from Workers United to ascertain whether Ms. Eisen was employed by Workers United at the time of the September 2022 hearing.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

- On-boarding and other employment paperwork or employment contracts for Ms. Eisen, including all documents that establish when she was hired by Workers United and her rate of compensation.
- If Ms. Eisen is no longer employed by Workers United, any termination paperwork for her, including any documents indicating the date she was terminated and her last day of employment with Workers United.
- Any documents that indicate the specific dates Ms. Eisen was issued paychecks by Workers United.
