Union Bill Debate Started

The Iowa House has started debate on House FIle 525, which would let employees to act as “free agents,” sidestepping union representation. It would bar unions from having any say on layoffs. Republican Ron Jorgenson of Sioux City is leading debate, and the Des Moines Register reports he says Iowa needs to move away from being an entitlement society where people expect things to be guaranteed. A democratic lawmaker says the legislature should be working on job creation not attacking the middle class.
