Stevens and Murkowski differ
The DOL Office of Labor Management Standards enforces the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959 (aka the Landrum-Griffin Act), which lays out, in five titles, the rights of union members vis-a-vis their own union - the right to speak freely, to be disciplined only under fair procedures, to obtain financial information, etc.
The Senate yesterday defeated an amendment to increase OLMS funding, 46-47. Senator Murkowski voted to increase funding, and Senator Stevens voted against increased funding.
