370 roll calls on this member’s record are tagged Labor & Wages. 261 of them counted toward the score above: 217 toward “Worker priority” and 44 toward “Employer priority”.

The other 109 did not count: 106 were roll calls whose direction on this issue could not be read confidently — mostly procedural motions — and 3 were ones they did not cast a yea or nay on. They are listed below anyway, marked as not scored, because a filtered list of votes is not a voting record.
