State House Passes Public Employee Bargaining Bill
In Harrisburg the House approved 157 to 34 sending a long awaited public employee bargaining bill to Governor Shafer. The measure, backed by teachers, government workers, nurses and hospital staff, limits the right to strike to cases after settlement attempts fail. Police and firemen are excluded, while prison guards and mental hospital workers gain bargaining rights without the strike option. The House adjourned for summer recess, Senate action pending. The chamber also overrode a governor's veto on a separate tax exemption for municipally owned utilities. Shafer is expected to sign, making Pennsylvania the second state with such a law after Hawaii.
