Newly Empowered House Democrats Restore ‘Labor’ to Republicans’ Education and Workforce Panel

In one of the first moves of the soon-to-be Democratic Majority in the House of Representatives, Virginia Congressman Bobby Scott has been elected Chair of the newly christened House Education and Labor Committee.

Yes, you read that right: (Re)Introducing the House Education and Labor Committee.

The House Education and Workforce Committee is no more.

What’s in a name? A lot. It means that the committee will once again be addressing the needs of working people rather than just their employers.

The committee will once again be addressing the needs of working people rather than just their employers.

Now, labor is invisible and there is only a Business section.

A section where stock process are king, and the average wage is never newsworthy.
