Labor Scores Senate Victory in Wisconsin Session Action
Labor scored its first major victory of the legislative session in the Wisconsin senate as an 18 to 14 vote killed a bill setting union operating procedures. The measure would have required voluntary union membership and regular financial reports, while disallowing discriminatory financial requirements. A related bill advancing toward final passage would deem as an unfair labor practice any union action demanding fees from those not granted equal membership rights. The senate also sent to the assembly a $500,000 airport development appropriation and a $225,000 parks purchase measure with transfers from segregated funds.
