Maine House Votes Down Anti-Union "Right to Work for Less" Bill
Seventy-four Democrats and two Republican members of the Maine House of Representatives voted to reject a union busting "right-to-work-for-less" bill on Wednesday. LD 187, "An Act to Prohibit Labor Organizations from Imposing Mandatory Service Fees on Nonmembers,” sponsored by Rep. Josh Morris, would ban contract agreements between workers and employers that require all workers in a bargaining unit to contribute to the costs of union representation. It is co-sponsored by Reps. Laurel Libby, Reagan Paul (R-Winterport), Randall Greenwood (R-Wales), Gary Drinkwater (R-Milford), Michael Lance (R-Paris) and Alicia Collins (R-Sidney).
