Fears Grow Over Labor Bill Curbs Says Taft Plan Risks Labor
In Washington Republicans including Senator Taft back a proposal to curb national unions in bargaining, arguing it would limit wage contracts and collective bargaining. Senator Ives warns the plan could disintegrate organized labor if enacted, while supporters cite steel industry bargaining as a proof point.
