Fitzpatrick says pro-union bill dealing with contracts will pass U.S. House
Fitzpatrick said the bipartisan measure would speed first contracts for new unions and has enough support to force a House vote.
- During a speech to the Pennsylvania Conference of Teamsters Convention in Hershey last week, Rep Brian Fitzpatrick, R-1st District, guaranteed members that the Faster Labor Contracts Act will pass the House.
- Teamsters support the bipartisan Faster Labor Contracts Act because it would require employers to collectively bargain with newly organized workers within 10 days of voting to form a union.
- The proposal has 98 House co-sponsors: 81 Democrats and 17 Republicans, with Fitzpatrick among the rare GOP backers of the legislation.
- House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries seeks 218 signatures on a discharge petition to force a floor vote, though a conservative lobbying group has formally opposed the effort.
- Fitzpatrick pledged to Teamsters President Sean O'Brien that "we will force that to the floor, and that is a guarantee," while the next step involves navigating the Senate.
