Labor unions weigh changes to new labor bill
The AFL and CIO signaled possible concessions to the administration bill as both groups back a complex reform. The CIO would not abandon its support for the Thomas-Lesinski measure but warned changes may occur. The organizations oppose injunctions to end strikes and resist provisions infringing core principles. The AFL hinted at possible concessions, including federal seizure of plants during national emergency strikes if necessary.
