Labor Committee Okays Waterdown Version Of Regulatory Bill
The Senate Labor committee approved a watered down version of Sen. George Parkhouse's labor regulatory bill, with safeguards on union finances and political activity. The House plans final action on a parallel measure to allow local option elections to abolish the county superintendent post. The revised bill limits CPA audits to unions above 100 members and lets smaller unions hire qualified helpers, while aligning political restrictions with corporate law. Parkhouse credited reduced paperwork and said the state secretary of state can accept the same reports filed with the federal government. The full committee voiced support, but opponents argued the bill still limits civil rights and free speech for unions.
