Senate Filibuster Halts Vote On Labor Act Yet Again
Supporters say about 54 votes exist in the 100 member Senate for the bill but Republican Leader Dirksen’s filibuster blocks discussion. Since Jan 24 a bloc of Republicans and Southern Democrats has held the floor for up to eight hours, preventing a vote. The procedurally stalled action resumes after an automatic one hour adjournment following a lapse petition. The act would curb compulsory union membership clauses in states where forbidden by law, with 19 states already enacting such bans including Alabama Arkansas Florida Georgia Mississippi North Carolina South Carolina Tennessee Texas Virginia Iowa Kansas Nebraska North Dakota South Dakota Arizona Nevada Utah and Wyoming.
