Montgomery, Alabama
MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Alabama lawmakers voted Tuesday to withhold economic incentive dollars from companies that voluntarily recognize a union instead of holding a secret ballot election.
The legislation, which would impact future incentive packages, comes as multiple Southern governors oppose a unionization push directed at auto manufacturers that have been lured to the South with the help of large incentive packages. Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signed similar legislation on Monday. Tennessee has a similar law in place.
“It doesn’t stop unions. It just gives the employee the right to vote in private,” Republican Rep. Scott Stadthagen said during debate.
