So the amendment was not agreed to.

The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr.

LAHOOD, assumed the Chair.

When Mr. KOLBE, Chairman, pursuant to House Resolution 226, reported

the bill back to the House with an

amendment adopted by the Committee.

The previous question having been

ordered by said resolution.

The following amendment, reported

from the Committee of the Whole

House on the state of the Union, was

agreed to:

Strike out all after the enacting clause and

insert:

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Teamwork

for Employees and Managers Act of 1995’’.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that—

(1) the escalating demands of global competition have compelled an increasing number of employers in the United States to

make dramatic changes in workplace and

employer-employee relationships;

(2) such changes involve an enhanced role

for the employee in workplace decisionmaking, often referred to as ‘‘Employee Involvement’’, which has taken many forms,

including self-managed work teams, qualityof-worklife, quality circles, and joint labormanagement committees;

(3) Employee Involvement programs, which

operate successfully in both unionized and

nonunionized settings, have been established

by over 80 percent of the largest employers

in the United States and exist in an estimated 30,000 workplaces;

(4) in addition to enhancing the productivity and competitiveness of businesses in

the United States, Employee Involvement

programs have had a positive impact on the

lives of such employees, better enabling

them to reach their potential in the workforce;

(5) recognizing that foreign competitors

have successfully utilized Employee Involvement techniques, the Congress has consistently joined business, labor and academic

leaders in encouraging and recognizing successful Employee Involvement programs in

the workplace through such incentives as

the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality

Award;

(6) employers who have instituted legitimate Employee Involvement programs have

not done so to interfere with the collective

bargaining rights guaranteed by the labor

laws, as was the case in the 1930’s when employers established deceptive sham ‘‘company unions’’ to avoid unionization; and

(7) Employee Involvement is currently

threatened by legal interpretations of the

prohibition against employer-dominated

‘‘company unions’’.

(b) PURPOSES.—The purpose of this Act is—

(1) to protect legitimate Employee Involvement programs against governmental interference;

(2) to preserve existing protections against

deceptive, coercive employer practices; and

(3) to allow legitimate Employee Involvement programs, in which workers may discuss issues involving terms and conditions of

employment, to continue to evolve and proliferate.

SEC. 3. EMPLOYER EXCEPTION.

Section 8(a)(2) of the National Labor Relations Act is amended by striking the semicolon and inserting the following: ‘‘: Provided
