MA: Amendment to the Labor Relations Act (Statute)

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Where is the independent mediator language?

It is in the same section (different clause, obviously) as the clause you posted in response to my claim that right-to-low-wages language created a free-loader problem (though obviously it is a different clause).

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Yeah, I found it - I was looking for it in the original statute on accident.  Well, we could make the arbitrator appointed by some type of labor board.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Would there be support for the establishment of a Labor Relations Board?

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Would there be support for the establishment of a Labor Relations Board?

I would much prefer to simply remove the right to work language altogether.  That seems like both simplest and the best solution.

Agreed!

Agreed!

I'm on board with this as well.

Me too. Which means it will happen.

Not necessarily - Mr. X will be leaving for the Senate soon, and I will be appointing his replacement, who hasn't weighed in on this yet.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

I motion for a vote, it is clear how everyone intends to vote and I don't see that changing with further debate at this point.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Alright, I'd like to at least be able to draft an amendment, but it seems everybody else wants to cut off debate.

Voting is now open on the bill.  Members will vote AYE, NAY, or ABSTAIN.  This will be a 48-hour vote.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

NAY

[Talleyrand]

AYE

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Aye

[Kitteh]

AYE

[Gass3268]

AYE

[tmthforu94]

We need a different title for this since it's identical to the one that was unanimously passed last session.

[Talleyrand]

I'd suggest "Repeal of Right to Work" or "Repeal of the Labor Relations Act".

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

I take it I shall not be voting on this one either (despite drj101's implication) due to my predecessor's vote.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Voting is now closed.  The AYEs are 4, and the NAYs are 1.  The AYEs have it, and the bill is passed.  The bill is now passed onto the Governor for his signature or veto.

Bills can have identical names.  It's already been passed... any changes (including to the title) would have had to have been made before the final vote.
