Hughes Defines Differences Over Iowa Right to Work Law
Des Moines Gov Harold Hughes outlines five key distinctions between his plan to modify Iowa's right to work law and the labor movement's demand for repeal. He seeks to keep the closed shop ban, clarify secondary boycotts, protect workers from union demands, move the law from criminal code, and allow union dues deductions with written consent. Grassley says modification equals repeal.
