Defeat Bill to Ban Union at Hospital in Arkansas Senate
The Arkansas Senate defeated a bill by Sen. Ellis Fagan to abolish the hospital union at the State Hospital for Nervous Diseases by a 17 to 10 vote. Opponents argued it would impinge on employees rights, while supporters said the hospital staff had corrected the situation. Other major measures paused or advanced included county road additions, teacher retirement funding, and a tax increase for classroom salaries. The hospital union proposal drew opposition from those citing constitutional free work rights.
