McKinney Re: Defeat of Forced Unionization Bills

State Senate Minority Leader John McKinney (R-Fairfield) released the following statement today in response to the defeat of Labor Committee bills SB 352 and HB 5433:

“I applaud the Republican members of the Labor Committee for defeating these two bills. The Democrat effort to force unionization on workers who don’t want to unionize has been bad public policy from the start. Today’s courageous effort by the Republican members of the Labor Committee will allow us to continue to fight in the courts and the legislature on behalf of day care workers, personal care attendants and those who depend on them.”
