The Senate Labor Committee is holding a hearing on a package that would repeal ‘right to work’ and reinstate prevailing wage. Huge group here - mostly union workers - filling up multiple rooms and overflowing into the lobby.
Kicked off the hearing with a fight between senators.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
