Indiana Dems Skip Vote on Anti-Union Bill 
------------------------------------------



Democratic state lawmakers in Indiana have again boycotted the
statehouse to prevent a vote on a measure that would prohibit union
contracts at private sector workplaces from requiring workers to pay
dues or other fees to join a union. It is the second time this month
Democrats have stayed home to counter the so-called "right to work"
bill. Democrats say the legislation is an attack on organized labor that
will result in lower wages and diminished collective bargaining rights.
