| 357184 | 01cf0620-6d37-4ed2-a6fd-72046b52fb87 | MM | INTERNATIONAL BROTHERHOOD OF ELECTRICAL WORKERS | 19822 | INTERNATIONAL BROTHERHOOD OF ELECTRICAL WORKERS | 2005 | mid_year | LBR | The IBEW supported an amendment by Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA) to the Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005, (S. 256) that would have raised the minimum wage from $5.15 an hour to $7.25 an hour. The IBEW opposed an amendment by Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA) that would have raised the minimum wage to $6.25 an hour. The amendment would have destroyed the 40-hour workweek by replacing it with an 80-hour over a two-week work period. It would have also removed up to 10 million workers from protection under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FSLA). The IBEW supports the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) - H.R.1696/S.842. EFCA will strengthen protections for workers' freedom to form unions by requiring employers to recognize a union once a majority of workers sign cards authorizing union representation. It also provides for mediation and arbitration of first-contract disputes and authorizes stronger penalties for employers that violate the legal rights of workers seeking to form unions or negotiate first contracts. | Federal Communications Commission (FCC),HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,SENATE | 440000 | 0 | 0 | 2005-07-25T00:00:00-04:00 |
