House passes the Faster Labor Contracts Act with bipartisan support.
The House of Representatives passed the Faster Labor Contracts Act by a vote of 230 to 193, with 20 Republicans joining all Democrats in support. The bill would require employers to begin contract negotiations with newly unionized workers within 10 days and, if no agreement is reached, trigger mediation and binding arbitration. The legislation reached the floor via a discharge petition signed by seven Republicans to bypass House Speaker Mike Johnson.
