REUTERS: Obama Threatens Veto Of FAA Bill Over Labor Provision
President Barack Obama would veto sweeping aviation legislation if Republicans in Congress succeed in gutting a rule favorable to airline and railroad union organizing, the White House said on Wednesday.
“The administration is committed to help working Americans exercise their right to organize under a fair and free process,” the White House said in a statement on the multi-billion-dollar bill that lays out long term U.S. aviation priorities.
We’re down to the wire. Congress votes today on this important legislation that would restore democracy to the workplace. The FAA Reauthorization bill would repeal undemocratic and un-American NMB rules that allow a minority of workers to unionize the majority. Tell your U.S. Representative to vote for the FAA Reauthorization bill and against the Costello/LaTourette amendment. Take a stand for American workers. Take action NOW.
