112 roll calls on this member’s record are tagged Labor & Wages. 87 of them counted toward the score above: 30 toward “Worker priority” and 57 toward “Employer priority”.

The other 25 did not count: 23 were roll calls whose direction on this issue could not be read confidently — mostly procedural motions — and 2 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.
