Orkers and wrong for america we will continue to vigorously oppose those laws and other efforts that would eliminate jews, checkout procedures, attack prevailing wage standards, abolished fair share requirements, restrict the use of voluntary membership payments for political purposes, a texan yorty, restrict the process, and require annual recertification efforts. We oppose legislation and like regard versus teleporter which would strike down laws protecting the rights of teachers and Public Employees. The chair recognizes as a sponsor. Hello. This amendment merely adds a tack a texan yorty and due process protections to the list already in the paragraph. We oppose legislation and lawsuits which would strike down laws protecting the rights of teachers in Public Employees. The justification for this is clearly that public and teachers in particular are under a continued attack from our opponent, from antilabor forces and others who seek to weaken the profession and weaken Public Employee unions and who seek to weaken education.

A memo on 25 sponsored by amendment 125. Is thisosed amendment amendment will make it the policy of the Democratic Party to guarantee workers at least 12 weeks of paid family and medical leave through an Insurance Fund. This amendment will also guarantee workers seven paid sick days. Insurance. R, at page four, line 31, delete allow and insert guarantee. Insertur, line 31, annually. The revised thing which should read democrats will make sure that the United States finally enact National Paid family and medical leave by passing a family and medical leave Insurance Fund that would provide at least 12 weeks of paid leave to care for a new child or dress and personal or family members Serious Health issue. We will fight the guarantee the right to earn at least seven days of paid sick leave annually. Thank you. From the great state of scotland. This amendment is a simple clarification. Adds three little words. Across the country people are fighting for paid sick days and they are winning in cities like san diego, newark, philadelphia, innercity, heating and states like massachusetts are carving and you. Opened tates have have found that mark funding mechanism by opening their current disability fund. That is the group they want to go in and see this type of mechanism created at the federal level as well. Senator gillibrand have offered andll called the family medical leave insurance act. This would accomplish this at the federal level. Insertnted to ensure these words. I moved to adopt the amendment. Second . That is sufficient. We are now open for debate. Yes. Getting aneally amendment we have agreed upon. On the particulars of the amendment, there is no disagreement. Workers should have sick leave and, of course, after we have been tried to get in a congress of the United States, family medical leave. To issue comes down particular rising how this is done. Example, the attacks workers. There may be other ways to do it. Fore might be other sources right or important benefit. Wayt, given the in which all of us to the allow, i hope we dont this particular notion how to do it whether through an Insurance Fund or an act of congress or through other ways of taxation. Such a taxing businesses and corporations, that is the kind of leverage that should be left policy is a. The proponents. Bill has over 20 cosponsors and the other bill has 120 cosponsors. The 2000 campaign to been working on this issue feel it is , i hope we can back them up on that. Many states have this a type of Insurance Fund and they differ. Some states with employer contributions and some places employer contributions. I believe washington, d. C. Is moving next on this issue cut it create this on the civil level city level. These can be greeted in any way that corresponds to create them. We are not tied them exactly how to do it. We are them in the right direction. Pointing them in the right direction. We cannot recognize this. Anyone else in opposition . Pro. Robert hurt, wisconsin. We agree strongly. There is no dispute about that. We know we dont have paid sick days and family medical leave. There will never be true economic highquality in this country and that we will also never deal with the pay gap for the fact that we have four children. Poor children. This is a cutting edge approach. Reason, by having a shared Insurance Fund, you make sure people work so all employers get covered. Cost and ofading covers all employers making the more competitive. It helps workers who are lowwage workers and have no paid leave at and need a shared pool Insurance Fund to do so. The best way to do is to accept the cinnamon. Thank you. This amendment. Thank you. I have a parliamentary question. Wheree are in a situation we have several on one side and one on the other, were getting ready to go back to the one on the other. You can come forward again. The gentleman has just made approachent for an that does not signify whether would be an act of congress. For example, very low workers. You take out wages of high income middle income workers, they dont feel it. But if you take it out of the wages of a minimumwage worker, that meets all the difference in the world. That is exactly the kind of issue that should be left to the states. Yes, this is a good way to do it. But when you consider the workers we represent, do you really want us to say that we look to deduct Something Else from your paycheck . Maybe so, maybe not. Give us that possibility. [applause] in favor . My name is eric kingston. It is hard to speak in opposition to one of your heroes comments. I want to just insane. Im a social insurance expert. The risk of requiring support for caregiving or loss of income because you are sick is a human risk, the same kind of risk that we insure under the Social Security program if a parent dies and leaves young children. We have Life InsuranceSocial Security. If a working person is disabled or fortunate enough to reach retirement. I see this as a strong addition to the nations Social Security program. The concept is that we ought not be one of only three nations in the world that do not provide a maternalenefit for care. We are in line with pop new suriname. Wering on this is an insurable event. It is appropriate to ensure through Social Security and if we made this argument and held that we should do it, we would then say we should not to Social Security either. This is basically a way of saying this is a public responsibility. Sensors to a brand has talked about. Senator gillibrand has talked about. Bring in caregiving out of the as the misogynistic weight has been kept in the closet. This is something we all face as human beings. I think its important. We have reached the time limit. Opposition. The platform should be aspirational. The current unamended part of this platform is aspirational. Details,get into the you are on a slippery slope and you are hitting issues to our opponents were unprincipled. The family medical leave act which this would appear to amend a mineral number of employees in a certain area before youre even covered in that statute. Is this country or local statute, we cant compel that. The federal government cannot compel that. Would be a federal statute, this and on aerful idea practical basis, it is irresponsible for to do this type of thing in the face of an election. Thank you. We have reached the time limit. Limit 125. Amendment 125. I would like to request a rollcall vote. A machine that please. Please. [indiscernible] 15 seconds. Five seconds. The boat is closed. Vote is closed. The amendment failed. Next amendment. Amendment 151. Four, line 48. Following equal pay section. The title would be held more workers share a near record corporate profit. Corporate profits are near record highs but workers have not shared the rising wages. Profitsharing is linked to higher pay and productivity. That is why democrats will work to create incentives for Companies Share to profit with workers on top of wages and pay increases. Working with business, labor and other stakeholders, we will develop incentives for companies that share profits with their employees while making sure we target the workers and businesses that need profitsharing the most. In favor, identify yourself. Kathleen kennedy from maryland. I very much in favor of this amendment. We have seen corporate profits at record highs. Executives, the top 1 had them very well. But the workers, they have not done well. Their wages have not gone up. They are suffering. The Federal Reserve just had a report recently in which 40 47 of americans cannot put together 400 if they needed to repair a car or a medical emergency. That is not the kind of america we want are the america we dream about. Need to earn a much better wage. Especially when the working of corporations morning earning so much money. This amendment says that earning corporations earning a lot should share some of those profits up with the workers in a fair amount. The Democratic Party can work with labor and heads of corporations in the communities in which they work and say were going to share with the people who actually do the work. When that happens, the studies have shown that workers do a better job and feel happier about their work and are more effective and innovative. It is better for them, better for the community and better for all of their families and country. Thank you. [applause] amendment . The hands up your that is sufficient. Hands up. That is sufficient.

[applause] next amendment. Amendment 69. Page four, lines 19 through 22. The proposed amendment is to have these lines read the Democratic Party believes consumers and Workers Pension funds and investors who have been mistreated should never be denied the right to fight for fair treatment under the law including meritorious class actions. That is why we will support efforts to limit the use of restriction clauses in employment, service contracts, corporate bylaws or other agreements that unfairly stripped workers, consumers, and students of their right to their day in court. [applause] thank you, madam cochair. This amendment expands what is already in the draft by extending the scope of what is there to additional classes of people. As you know, big business through the chamber of Congress Commerce has been at having deny access to the court by virtue of predispute, arbitration clauses. These clauses have two effects. Number one, they denied the right to a jury trial in villages in the constitution. Second, they make it very difficult to bring class actions. The one leveling device the judicial system provides that puts us on an even Playing Field with wall street. What this amendment does is it expands the number of people and the kinds of people from the graph. It expands it. Ive been asked to read this, consumers, workers, students, tengion funds and investors. Union pensionver funds, public Pension Funds that provide benefits for state workers, cops, teachers, firefighters, investors and others dependent on the Financial System and need to address in appropriate cases.
