The House of Representatives stood up for workers today and voted down the LaTourette/Costello Amendment. The amendment would have striped Title IX of the legislation, which overturns a recent decision by the National Mediation Board (NMB) upending nearly a century of precedent whereby a majority of workers are required to form a collective bargaining unit as opposed to only a majority of those voting in a union election.
Big Labor should NOT be rewarded at the expense of workers’ rights. Congress sent a powerful message to the Union Bosses today: the bailouts you have received by the Obama administration and their administrative agencies are coming to end.
