The Labor Act
Summary
Sec. 1) When employed by a company, a new “Union Membership Card” will be given by the company to the new employee.
A.) With this card, the empleado has the option to simply fill out a card and join the union that is for that area of work.
B.) No employerpatrón can deny an employee, a union membership.
C.) But an employee is not and will not be forced to join a union.
Sec. 2) This Act will fully repeal The Taft Hartley Act.
The Taft-Hartley Act prohibited jurisdictional strikes, secondary boycotts and “common situs” picketing, closed shops, and monetary donations by unions to federal political campaigns. Union shops were heavily restricted, and states were allowed to pass “right to-work laws” that outlawed union shops. Furthermore, the executive branch of the Federal government could obtain legal strikebreaking injunctions if an impending or current strike “imperiled the national health or safety,” a test that has been interpreted broadly by the courts.
Sec. 3) No state shall allow a “Right to Work” policy, these policies close the doors to Unions, and make it difficult for workers to negotiate with the company.
Sec. 4) In addition we shall recognize these great labor leaders:
Jimmy Hoffa, Joe Hill, Mother Jones, Cesar Chavez, John L. Lewis, Philip Randolph, Samuel Gompers
Their faces will be placed on a stamp in which, 10% of these, “Labor Leader Stamps” profits will be split 5% for the AFL-CIO and 5% for Change to Win.
This bill is supported by Sec. of Labor Mike Bond 007

*(7)-Any immigrants that cross the border illegally after this bill becomes law will be deported, once caught.
Special Comment
*(Payment Plan) Most illegal immigrants wont be able to and are not expected to have $1000 laying around, so a payment plan of either $100 a month for 10 months or $75 a month for 14 months will be granted.
This bill will more then likely pay for its self and it will bring in a surplus of extra money, this money shall be used to further the effort of ending illegal immigration.
We have estimated this bill to raise over $10,000,000,000. And create over 7,000 new jobs.
And as stated above it will spend $25,000,000
This Bill was done in a Bi-partisan effort and we hope that it will gain Bi-Partisan support.
