Margin Enough To Override Expected Veto
The Senate passed its labor bill by 68 to 24, exceeding the two thirds needed to override a presidential veto. A conference will craft a compromise with a tougher bill, then sent to the White House likely later this month. The measure outlaws the closed shop, permits a union shop, bars jurisdictional strikes and secondary boycotts, and creates a new federal mediation agency. It also imposes union reporting, makes unions liable for unfair practices, and sets rules on dues, bargaining, and employer rights. The plan faces House action and potential changes before final enactment.
