This was a vote on a motion to table (kill) an amendment that dealt with the “right-to work” issue, which was offered to the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009 by Sen. DeMint (R-SC). A number of states have passed “right-to-work” laws, which make it illegal for a business and a union to agree to require that the business will hire only union labor, or that non-union employees will be required to pay union dues. DeMint’s amendment would have established a national “right to work” law. The bill to which the amendment was offered dealt with the statue of limitations for wage discrimination suits. |
