1. Oh wow this would allow corporations

To pay less than minimum wage.

"Earlier this week, backed by the corporate lobby group the Coalition for Workforce Innovation (CWI), which was established to fight against growing workers’ movements, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Congresswoman Michelle Steel (R-CA), and Congressman Henry Cuellar (D-TX) introduced the deceptively named Worker Flexibility and Choice Act (WFCA).

This bill would radically erode fundamental worker protections in the United States to the benefit of big corporations, allowing them to require workers to sign away basic rights as a condition of work. The bill would also establish a second-tier employment class of disproportionately Black and immigrant workers working in arduous and underpaid jobs without minimum labor protections — growing poverty and racialized economic inequality."

GOPers have got to scam...they can't help themselves.

2. What's really messed up is the "guy" sitting in Texas that is a co-sponsor of this crap...

and he's anti-abortion....
This "act" is nothing more than a back door to the 1938 Labor Act and to dismantle wage guarantees....he and all of them that are apart of this need to be voted out of office....now....
