Opinion: A Place Government Doesn’t Need to Stick Its Nose
Dennis DeWitt weighs in on the Faster Labor Contracts Act. As an advocate for Alaska's small and independent business owners, he believes the best thing government can do is step out of the way.
However, the Faster Labor Contracts Act proposes to subject private workplace negotiations to tight, arbitrary deadlines, potentially forcing workers and employers into contracts they never agreed to.
About the Faster Labor Contracts Act
The Act aims to artificially "speed up" contract negotiations between employers and unions, requiring employers to begin bargaining with a new union in just ten days.
- Employers must start bargaining with a new union within 10 days.
- If no agreement is reached in 90 days, the government steps in and forces mediation.
The Faster Labor Contracts Act would subject private workplace negotiations to tight, arbitrary deadlines and could force workers and employers into contracts they never agreed to.
