Iowans Push Through Public Sector Bargaining Curtailment
After three days of debate the Iowa Legislature approved HF 291 to limit public sector union bargaining. Republicans argue the measure adds local control and taxpayer savings, while Democrats decry it as union busting and rushed legislation. The bill divides workers into public safety and other groups with different bargaining rules and retains civil court appeals for disputes.
