Senate riders seek right of union members to strike
Senate appropriations panel attached a rider allowing union members to strike to a funds bill for the Agriculture Department. Senators Russell and Wherry indicated similar clauses would appear in future supply bills, citing the CIO United Public Workers of America. Pepper warned of time loss for workers due to illness and questioned the delay to pass health plans. Eastland called the hold a filibuster and urged labor bills to move, even if it endangers OPA. Barkley aims to clear labor matters, pass a replacement for stop-gap draft, and speed OPA action. Russell said the rider drew little opposition in committee but will face a floor fight. Pepper decried the move as unfortunate and improper for open hearings.
