Oregon House sides with labor on workplace communications!by Janie Har, The OregonianFriday June 19, 2009, 1:09 PM SALEM --
Organized labor scored a fat win on Friday when lawmakers gave final
approval to a bill allowing workers to opt out of meetings where
employers talk about unions, ballot measures and other political speech.
The House voted 34 to 24 to endorse Senate Bill 519, with Democrats and
unions praising what they call the "Worker Freedom Act."
Republicans and businesses protested fiercely, saying that the employer
"gag rule" is an unnecessary regulation that tilts the
landscape toward unions. The bill now goes to Gov. Ted Kulongoski, who is expected to sign it. Oregon would join New Jersey in extending such protection to workers. Democrats say businesses are overreacting and that the bill doesn't silence anyone's right to speech -- it just frees workers from having to listen. The provision also applies to religious speech. | "This is a policy that makes sense and will be good for business," said Rep. Michael Dembrow, D-Portland, an English instructor at Portland Community College who has served as president of the faculty union there. Mitch Greenlick, D-Portland. says "All this does is protect the natural rights of employees; it doesn't hinder employers in any way." ...The Senate approved the bill 16-14. On Tuesday it takes up a proposal that expands the number of public workers eligible to join unions. Janie Har
