The House just voted to force bosses to sign union contracts in 90 days

Original version ·

Turns out even some Republicans are tired of companies dragging their feet for years to avoid giving union workers a contract.

Usually, when workers vote to form a union, the bosses play a fun game called "let's negotiate for three years until everyone forgets why we're here." It's a classic stall tactic. But the House just passed a bill to kill that vibe.

The new rule is simple: companies get exactly 90 days to sign a first contract with a new union. If they don't, the federal government steps in to arbitrate and basically write it for them.

The wildest part? Twenty Republicans actually voted for this. In this economy, getting bipartisanship on labor rights is like seeing a unicorn riding a skateboard.

Corporate lawyers are currently googling how to explain to their CEOs that they actually have to do their jobs now.
