Episode Description
Earlier this year, Utah saw one of its biggest political battles over banning collective bargaining for public unions—a fight that sparked a referendum with more than 300,000 signatures. Well, now, as a part of the special session tomorrow, lawmakers will vote to repeal that controversial law. Why the sudden shift? Rep. Jordan Tuescher, the sponsor of this ban on collective bargaining for Public Unions (HB 267), joins the show live. And on the other side of this debate, Jessica Stauffer, Nurse at U of U Hospital and President of the Communication Workers of America (CWA 7765), which is a part of Protect Utah Workers Coalition, joins the show to share her response to this move and what comes next if the fight returns next year.
