Veto Override Expected On Collective Bargaining Bill Today

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)

The Maryland Senate and House are scheduled to take up a veto override today of a bill that would provide needed reforms to state collective bargaining law.  Senate Bill 348 is expected to be taken up in both chambers on the final day of the General Assembly.  The bill originally passed both houses with widespread support, including some Republican lawmakers but was vetoed by the Ehrlich/Steele administration.
