Este proyecto de ley sería la revisión más exhaustiva a las protecciones laborales federales en medio siglo.

Chairman Crowley Statement on President Trump’s Decision to Withdraw from the Iran Nuclear Agreement
President Trump's decision to withdraw from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action is reckless and irresponsible.

A sólo unos meses de que aprobaran una estafa fiscal que aumento el déficit, aumento los impuestos a los hombres y mujeres trabajadoras y les dio recortes fiscales a los intereses especiales, ahora el presidente Trump propone recortar importantes programas de salud para pagar el costo billonario de su ley fiscal. Esta es una propuesta absurda del presidente Trump y de los republicanos de la Cámara de Representantes, y un recordatorio más de cómo carecen de la visión para liderar eficazmente”.
