Indiana Senate committee moved the House Right To Work legislation out of committee and to the Senate Floor for a vote on Wednesday. If passed in the Senate, Gov. Mitch Daniels could sign Indiana’s Right To Work bill into law before the day is over.
From the Indystar.com:
Gov. Mitch Daniels says he’ll sign into law a controversial labor law “as soon as it comes to me.”
That could be Wednesday, after a final vote on the so-called “right to work” legislation is taken in the Indiana Senate.
A Senate committee cleared the way for that vote on today, voting 6-1 to approve the bill and send it to the full Senate.
Under the “right to work” legislation, companies and unions could no longer negotiate a contract that requires non-members of the union to pay fees for representation.
It’s simply intolerable that Veach and Williamson could still ultimately get away with leading a brutal assault because of a misbegotten Supreme Court ruling nearly half-a-century old. That’s why National Right to Work Committee members are pushing for passage of H.R.4256, a common-sense legislative remedy known as the Freedom from Union Violence Act.
Corruption is a pervasive problem in the UAW, and Organized Labor as a whole. Government policies promoting forced union dues are a principal source of corruption. That’s why the National Right to Work Committee is urging Schneider to make the elimination of the forced-dues privileges a core part of his program to clean up the union.
Now there are 108 House co-sponsors!
