COM. REP. NO. 1132
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2021
RE: H.R. No. 47
H.D. 1
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-First State Legislature
Regular Session of 2021
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Labor & Tourism, to which was referred H.R. No. 47 entitled:
"HOUSE RESOLUTION URGING THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS AND PRESIDENT JOSEPH R. BIDEN TO ENACT THE PROTECTING THE RIGHT TO ORGANIZE ACT,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to urge the United States Congress and President of the United States to enact the Protecting the Right to Organize Act as expeditiously as possible.
Your Committee finds
that unionized workers earn over thirteen percent more than comparable
nonunionized workers, receive fairer wages and better benefits, and generally
have better working conditions. Your
Committee further finds that the Protecting the Right to Organize Act enhances
workers' rights by providing greater opportunity to unite and bargain
meaningfully for fairer wages and benefits, and thus, has the potential to
raise workers' living standards.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Amending its title to read: "URGING THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS AND THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES TO ENACT THE PROTECTING THE RIGHT TO ORGANIZE ACT OF 2021 AS EXPEDITIOUSLY AS POSSIBLE."; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Labor & Tourism that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.R. No. 47, as amended herein, and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs in the form attached hereto as H.R. No. 47, H.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Labor & Tourism,
