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.
- Fitzpatrick is one of just two Republicans supporting the legislation, with 98 total co-sponsors in the House including 81 Democrats and 17 Republicans.
- House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries aims to secure 218 signatures for a discharge petition to force a floor vote, though a conservative lobbying group officially opposes the effort.
- Fitzpatrick pledged to Teamsters President Sean Brien that he will force the bill to the floor, adding that the next step involves developing a strategy to navigate the Senate.
