Picketing Bill Gaining Ground Amid Labor Reform Debate
A labor committee refused a favorable report but the picketing bill was substituted onto the House calendar by a strong majority.

The overtime clause may move to the minors bill next Tuesday, expanding protections for children and potentially aiding women's reform next year.
