Iowa Senate Defeats Union Shop Bill in Right to Work Debate
Iowa Senate rejected a measure to allow union shop contracts, with 27 votes for and 31 against. The bill, pushed by Gov. Harold Hughes and Democrats, would have let employers negotiate contracts requiring workers to join a union within 30 days, though not before hiring. The vote ended weeks of debate and marked a major setback for the Democratic governor and party.
