Big Labor Plans Broad Legislative Drive
Washington AP report on AFL-CIO proceeding after a first round loss. The group aims to repeal right to work laws, secure public sector bargaining, raise minimum wage to 3 dollars per hour, and reform the National Labor Relations Act to ease organizing. Thomas Donahue frames it as a workers rights campaign despite defeats. The effort centers on H.R. 77, the Labor Reform Act of 1977, lacking a right-to-work repeal but with related provisions.
