423 roll calls on this member’s record are tagged Labor & Wages. 291 of them counted toward the score above: 247 toward “Worker priority” and 44 toward “Employer priority”.

The other 132 did not count: 127 were roll calls whose direction on this issue could not be read confidently — mostly procedural motions — and 5 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.
