Democrats and some Republicans on Capitol Hill keep uniting behind bad ideas that would make workers worse off, and the Faster Labor Contracts Act is the latest example. The bill would mandate that workers sometimes be subjected to labor contracts that they never vote for. Whatever the arbitrators decide would become the labor contract that all workers in the bargaining unit would be forced to abide by for two years. Even though major labor unions support this legislation, it could cause problems for them, too. The Faster Labor Contracts Act looks like it might have a path to get out of the House.
