Senate Near Vote On Labor Amendments
Washington June 15 The Senate moved toward voting on four bipartisan labor amendments to the administration bill. Democratic Leader Lucas of Illinois said the first amendment would require unions to bargain in good faith, aligning the measure with Taft Hartley changes. The four amendments would require bargaining on request, loyalty affidavits for leaders unless banned, financial disclosures by unions and employers, and free speech safeguards in labor relations with limits on threats or reprisals. Action depended on Senate debate pace and speaker count.
