Alabama House moves to legalize union shop contracts
The House Judiciary Committee approved an amendment to legalize union shop contracts in some plants as part of a bitter fight over the state right to work law. The Senate ports committee adjourned without voting on dismantling the five member docks board and placing Mobile docks under the governor. No hearing date was set to resume. A business delegation protested the measure while critics argued it expands the governor’s political power. Former Sen. Tom Johnston recalled backing the docks law in 1951 to keep state facilities free from political interference.
