Curt Weldon, Labor
As the youngest of eight children growing up in the refining town of Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania, I have lived the life of the hard-working, blue-collar American laborer.
Because my parents were union workers, I have taken an active role as a member of the House Republican Labor Task Force, and have fought for the rights of American workers like my parents. Vocally and consistently opposed to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), I continue to support corrective measures that will restore to the American worker the level playing field that ineffective side agreements to the trade pact have promised.
Unfortunately, partisanship permeates the labor issue and I must break ranks with my Republican colleagues in supporting such measures as an increase in the minimum wage and legislation that would ban the permanent replacement of striking workers. On another front, I am seriously opposed to the Clinton Administration's dramatic cuts in defense spending which have not only weakened our nation's defenses but have also cost thousands of union members their high-tech jobs in the defense industry. Representing a district where Boeing, Lockheed-Martin, and General Electric are major employers, I have seen first-hand the blood-letting that has resulted from the Clinton defense cuts and the ensuing downsizing and merging of defense contractors. Remaining responsive to the needs of the American laborer, it is my goal to continue my pragmatic approach to worker-related initiatives in Congress and will work to bridge the partisan chasm that often haunts these vital issues.
