This is a no brainer piece of legislation and I am surprised it is legal in the first place. I strongly support this bill and congratulate Senator Blair for bringing it up

[Blair]

I must admit that this is something I wasn't too aware of before covid but with the pandemic we've seen several large companies (who are surviving the pandemic & sitting on huge amounts of savings) using covid as an excuse to basically fire all of their employees & then re-hire them on much worse contracts with poorer pay and weaker conditions.

It's often used as a way of screwing over older & more experienced staff members who've build up years of experience & have stronger pay & conditions from 20-30 years ago when employment rights were in some areas much stronger.

This bill bans this practice

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

So next steps, final vote etc?

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

I didn't know this practice was actually happening. No objections from me.

[Blair]

Motion for a final vote

[Devout Centrist]

Seconded.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Come one Scott, you could have opened this for me.

This is now at final vote, Senators please vote Aye, Nay or Abstain.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

AYE


Considering it is possible that a relative narrowly skirted getting entrapped into what could very well have been a similar situation last week, this has taken on real life meaning. A week ago Friday, the management laid off most of the people at the plant, then a few days later some of them were told that they made a mistake. There are three different stories going around as to why, and they have been told not to press the issue.

[Blair]

Aye

[Former President tack50]

Aye

[Devout Centrist]
