Speech #1090080053

If any Senator on this floor thinks that paying a man or a woman $22 an hour. with some minimum benefits. to work 12 hours a day because the contract said if they want to work. they have to show up and work 12 hours a day. 7 days a week until further noticeso do not tell me these people did not want to work. They had to work without a day off. week after week. for $22 an hour. We are told that it is too much. we cannot afford to hire them. they can go on back and twiddle their thumbs while we have the undocumented workers rebuild this military base. It should not be happening now. It should not be happening in the future.
