Description of the blog
ABC’s Free Enterprise Alliance has launched an issue advocacy campaign in Missouri, Kansas, Ohio and the Washington, D.C. metro area to educate elected officials and the public on Sen. Josh Hawley’s, R-Mo., Pro-Worker Framework for the 119th Congress that includes sections of the ABC-opposed Protecting the Right to Organize Act and the Warehouse Worker Protection Act.
On March 4, Hawley, along with Sens. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, Corey Booker, D-N.J., Gray Peters, D-Mich., and Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., introduced S. 844, the Faster Labor Contracts Act, which would impose unrealistic, arbitrary deadlines requiring employers to reach an agreement in first contract negotiations with newly elected unions or face “binding interest arbitration,” which eviscerates “voluntary agreement,” a primary tenet of U.S. labor law. Under mandatory arbitration, contracts would be imposed on workers, employers and unions with no vote on the final product. Mandatory arbitration would deprive both employers and employees of property rights without the requisite due-process safeguards.
ABC and the ABC-led Coalition Democratic Workplace released statements opposing the bill.
