The HELPCmteDems, led by Chairman SenSanders, announced they would be holding a markup of pro-union legislation that would roll back 'right to work' laws across the country, a key priority for some Democrats but has no chance of passing in the House.
The Senate will be debating pro-union legislation that would roll back"right to work" laws across the country, which is a key priority for some lawmakers on the Left but has no chance of passing in the House.

Corporations such as Uber might be compelled to place workers on their payroll instead of just paying them for the services provided by drivers. The legislation is heavily opposed by companies that rely on that business model.
