UNION ORANIZING BILL BLOCKED IN SENATE

President would have vetoed anyway

A bill to make it easier for workplaces to go union has died on a procedural motion in the Senate. While currently workplaces hold secret ballot elections overseen by the federal government on whether to unionize, the legislation would have required employers to unionize once they'd been presented signed union cards by a majority of eligible employees. The House passed the bill in March, but the President has vowed to veto the bill if it reaches his desk.
