In fiscal years 1993 through 1995. the Department of Labor recovered nearly $60 million in unpaid minimum wages for more than a quarter of a million workers and another $300 million in unpaid overtime for more than a half million additional workers. More can be accomplished with these additional personnel. And just as importantly. increased enforcement will help level the playing field for those honest employers who play by the rules and hire American workers and pay them a fair wage. So all of the Members who like to talk about preventing illegal immigration. please. let us all repair to this motion to instruct. It is an important one. it is critical for maintaining good labor standards in this country. and I ask my colleagues to join with me in voting yes on a more tough and effective workplace enforcement.
