Lots circulating out there about Dingy Harry’s bill that would force states to allow public employees to collectively bargain.
It was uncertain when there might be a vote, but sister blog Right Angles reports there could be some action as early as this week.
Of course we here in North Carolina –which forbids collective bargaining in the public sector —- are wondering how Sen. Kay Hagan will vote. An interesting side note to this story is the ad being run by the NC Coalition for Jobs that uses Hagan’s voice in a conversation with the N&R’s Doug Clark and Mark Binker. Hagan seemed confused about the issue and indicated she might support such a law. But she called Binker back to say she would not support any law that overrides state laws on public employees collectively bargaining.
As of now, Binker reports that Hagan –through a spokeswoman —- would vote no on a cloture vote. North Carolina will be watching.
