Labor Influence On Capitol Hill At 10 Year Low
Organized labor faced its weakest influence on Capitol Hill in over a decade as the Senate approved a broad bill regulating union activity by a 68 to 24 vote and the House showed about a quarter in opposition. The vote pattern echoed earlier stances on the Case labor disputes measure, tempering hopes for swift passage of an expanded labor bill. A conference committee will seek a compromise version, with leaders likely to push acceptance in both chambers.
