Labor Reform Act Heads For House Vote In Open Rule
Congressman James Santini votes to consider the 1977 Labor Reform Act under a strict rule restricting amendments. The move provokes GOP opposition citing rushed passage and lack of open-rule debate. The bill enlarges the National Labor Relations Board and broadens its authority over elections and certification. Also, Judy Mayne, Las Vegas resident and wife of Clark County Deputy Coroner Dick Mayne, died after a weeklong illness. She was active in EMS groups and local programs and is survived by her husband, four children, parents, brother, and four grandchildren. Funeral set for Wednesday at Palm Chapel with donations to All Saints Episcopal Church building fund.
