One Vote Margin Shapes Labor Bill Rights Provisions
The Senate narrowly approved a labor bill amendment by a 47 to 46 vote adding a union rights section. It requires unions to include provisions protecting member rights, sets penalties for leaders who violate them, and may extend similar protections to organized groups like Teamsters. Kennedy Criticized the measure as overreaching while McClellan defended it as essential protection against misconduct.
