The Workforce Fairness Institute thanks Representative Mary Bono Mack for standing up against Big Labor and in support of workers’ rights.  Earlier this week it was reported that Representative Bono Mack might support the LaTourette/Costello amendment to the FAA Reauthorization bill that would strip Title IX of the legislation.  Title IX of the FAA Reauthorization bill would repeal undemocratic and un-American NMB rules that allow a minority of workers to unionize the majority.  However, the Costello/LaTourette amendment would render the FAA Reauthorization ineffective. We are happy to see Representative Bono Mack take a stand for American workers.  Other members of the House of Representatives should follow her lead.
