Media reports a Bill in the State of Utah that seeks to limit or ban Public Sector Labor Unions’ Collective Bargaining power remains on pause - and Utah Senate Leaders are now unsure when it will be revisited. H.B. 267/Public Sector Labor Union Amendments has been temporarily postponed after passing its second reading in the Utah Senate after the sponsor teased a compromise following continued public scrutiny. While the original Bill sought to bar Public Unions from Collective Bargaining, the substitute would allow for bargaining - as long as a simple majority of Employees voted in favor of the Union representing them. Union Representatives from across Utah had packed the State Capitol in Salt Lake City to protest the Bill.  “It’s bull----,” said Chris Lowe with the United Steelworkers Local 392. “It’s embarrassing, the disrespect that they have in that room.  (They voted) against Public Sector Employees that are out there every day doing the job of the people, educating the kids, keeping our State safe.  An injustice and harm to one is a harm to all.”
