Congress votes to expand plant closing notice rules
The House approved a plant closing and mass layoff notice bill by 286 to 136, matching Senate action, with 60 days advance notice required for closings or long layoffs and several exemptions. The vote shows broad bipartisanship and potential override if vetoed.
