House Defeats GOP Bid to Weaken Labor Bill
The House rejected a Republican plan to weaken a new labor bill by 267 to 152. The measure would speed union elections, reinstate workers with back pay after illegal firings, compensate workers when employers refuse to negotiate after recognition, and bar repeat violators from federal contracts. AFL-CIO and the Carter administration back the bill as needed to correct an imbalance in labor laws.
