Democrats Split Over Labor Bills In Pennsylvania Senate
In Harrisburg April 1 the labor mediation bill faced a split Democratic Senate as moderates balked at mandates for compulsory mediation and worker sanctions. The Rodgers-Richberg measure, tied to employer groups and NRA counsel Donald Richberg, sought to bar strikes during a 60 day period. Lawmakers backed the administration bill while shelving the Rodgers-Richberg proposal amid labor federation opposition and internal party pressure. Governor Lawrence faces pressure to steer the bills through the chamber.
