That is why, along with Democratic Senators Patty Murray of Washington, Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, and Margaret Wood Hassan of Nevada, and my House colleagues Bobby Scott of Virginia and Donald Norcross of New Jersey, I questioned recent actions of the National Labor Relations Board and demanded more information.\nThe job of the NLRB is to protect the rights of private sector employees to act together to improve their wages and working conditions.
