Is there any chance Collins could become an independent and vote to caucus with the Dems in 2019?

Plus Conyers' bill has a provision to help them transition. The overall numbers on how many workers lose or change jobs every year surprised me: 42 percent.
From the article: "Although it is hard to come up with a precise estimate, the likely number of jobs made redundant by the switch is a few hundred thousand over the course of a few years, in a country where 1.6 million people are dismissed from their jobs every single month."
