E:zF Katz - The Pennsylvania General Assembly

Mr. ZELLER. Thanlc you, Mr. Speaker.
Mr. Spenkcr, I had requested this to be reconsidered
aftrr its passage last wreli for the following reasons, and
i just came in ircm Allrnlown and I do not knr;e my
material. hilt I will try to give what I can off the top
of my hcnd here.
l'bis hill will affcct your cntire area for this reason:
Those pcoplc, whether they arc rncn or womcn, now
cloing work at hqme will not he allowcd tn do that
unlcss they are physically handicapped or can prove
that they are ill in such a way that they cannot go
elsewhere to worlc.
Now we are talking about the fan?ily concept of having
body else to raise.
Nor*. 1 feel thiq is very, very discriminatory since it
mainly arfe-ts the Philadelphia area. If you were to sce
the list of companies which arc inr-olvrd in this throagh
the Department of I,abor and Industry, which haw to
irgister and pay a 5200 Fee per year to register to do
this industrial homework. it mninlv affects the citv oI
Philadclghia.

woi~id he very happy to see this hill enacted from this
point of view: It is difficult for them to deliver goods.

l!lese s:imc employers do not want this particular bill
e~~acled because it creates for them a bad community
siluntion. in other u~ords, the scrvice that they are now
pcrfnrming to the community is to those persons who
nrcd hel13, and, in providing them these jobs in their
own hr?m~s, they feel that they are doing a very fine
p!iblic relations job. And I think this particularly should
he noted, that it is a community service that is being
done by inany of these employers and I think for this
stay at home and the mother goes out to work, hut VCrY reason the bill should be defeated.
mainly in this particiilar case it would hi. motherswho
wzuld be at home with tlneir children. We are lalkin.2
ahout this familv concent.
On the question recurring,

I fepl the citv of Philadelnhia should talr~ it.; rwn
problcms under its own charter and handle then, without
plncini: this condition upon thc entire slate. This is
where lhc 7:rohlems lie. This is where the chicf sponsor
romes from, with all rrspect lo hcr, and this is u~hr!.;.
the prohlcm is. We do not have a problem will1 it ol~!
in o~ur areas. No on? has cven raised thc issue. We have
rvomen working and doing a fine job obtaining incomc
lo take care of their families, and this is going to Bill
that.
Ni;w Mr. O'Connell put an smenclment in that is goino
to exempt the shoe industry. Here is another discrim-
inatory move. You talk about discriminalion in this state
and this country. Here we have direct discrimination in
two areas: One, people will not be able to do work i~i,Iess
thcy are undcr a certain condition; and, secondly, only
thc shoe induslry is cxempt. Can you imagine, of all thi.
difirrent companies that are involved, the shzp industry
is esernpt now. I never heard of this. This is ab-
solutely ridiculous.
So if yon are going to hc consistent and you want to
hr fair, please, let us vote this hill down.
\ire talk about the independence in this co~intry. pcoglr.
being allowcd la do things. Are you going to allow this
for a few union hosses--and that is what it is---in th-.
ci1.y of Plliladelphi:~ who want this hill? That i.; onacl!;
what it is, and T will say it and I can gct away wit11 i!.
That is cxactly what it is. I hope we can vote this bill
down, please.
