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.
