My name is Oscar Lopez.
2:55:56
And I would like to start speaking a little bit of my experience.
2:56:00
I came to this series 7 years ago, as many people looking for one opportunity.
2:56:07
That opportunity was given to me by a group of people that they live on my talents and help me to develop my careers.
2:56:15
Now I became a man a year of operations, and I'm able to help others to develop their skills as well.
2:56:24
I'm able to work every day to prepare myself and able to train others, teach them the responsibilities and their rights, promoting always equality.
2:56:36
For instance, few weeks ago, I was able to train all my staff members about human trafficking and sexual harassment, which is requirement by the Department of Labor.
2:56:50
The use of human resources is a power for me.
2:56:55
But my education and my values reminds me every day that I have to do things right.
2:57:02
I want to express my opposition in this build proposal as I believe that we can make me yours stronger in this industry.
2:57:10
For me passing this bill will affect my life, my passion, the respect I have to this industry, and will destroy my entire life as I want to continue helping others to build their careers.
2:57:24
Thank you, and have a nice day.
