The Faster Labor Contracts Act, a bill requiring employers to baRgain within 10 days of union certification, has passed the Residence with 17 Republican co-sponsors.
The discharge petition forced a vote on the Faster Labor Contracts Act , a bill requiring employers to bargain within 10 days of union certification to prevent employers from stalling first-time union contracts .
The bill had 17 House Republican co-sponsors. Sen. Josh Hawley sponsored the bill in the Senate.
“The right of workers to form a union and collectively bargain is crucial to improving wages, hours, working conditions, and so much more. I know because I’ve lived it,” Rep. Donald Norcross , the lead sponsor of the bill, wrote in a statement.
“Right now, employers can delay negotiations on first contracts for years. The Faster Labor Contracts Act will force employers to act in good faith and come to the negotiating table quickly.
”“Either contracts are reached under the new high pressure, shortened timeline, or workers lose a say in the very workplace decisions that drew their interest in representation in the first place,” Americans for Prosperity wrote in a to Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune opposing the legislation. Reps.
Don Bacon , Brian Fitzpatrick , Mike Lawler , Max Miller , Riley Moore , Nick LaLota , and Rob Bresnahan joined with Democrats to force the labor legislation to the floor using a discharge petition. The parliamentary procedure bypasses the committee process and forces legislation directly to a floor vote if 218 lawmakers sign on in support. This marks the second piece of legislation passed through the House this month from a discharge petition.
“As a pro-labor Republican, I’m proud to cosponsor the Faster Labor Contracts Act and co-lead the Know Your Labor Rights Act, because Suffolk County’s working families deserve fair wages, safe working conditions, and the opportunity to retire with dignity,” LaLotaThe bill’s passage comes as GOP leadership has become increasingly frustrated with the usage of discharge petitions, a tool that used to be rare, to take vote-scheduling power out of the hands of the majority.he does not support the use of discharge petitions because “we have committees, and the committees do hard work.
” “Everybody’s got their own bills that they might want to move, and you know, as the majority leader, when people come to me and they want a bill moved, I tell them — first thing I always tell them is, go talk to the chairman,” Scalise said.
“Work through the committee process. That is what the regular order is around here, and obviously most people do that. You might not always get the result you want when you go to committee, but that is the legislative process, and that’s what I surely urge we do.
”“If the House Floor was managed properly, discharge petitions would never be needed,” Fitzpatrick on X. “A successful discharge petition is clear and direct evidence of a poorly managed House Floor — because it demonstrates that the will of the majority of the People is being thwarted by the privileged few. ”
