Postal Service Overhaul(S. 1786)

Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C) offered an amendment to the “21^st  Century Postal Service Act” that would weaken union representation rights in the workplace. The DeMint amendment would create huge financial burdens on unions by forcing them to spend significant funds on obtaining members signed authorization before participating in worker issue, organizing campaigns and legislative activities at the local, state and national levels. The amendment was rejected on April 25 by a vote of 46-53: (R: 46-0; D: 0-51; I: 0-2) Roll Call vote 81. Y=W, N=R.
