Was curious why nobody is discussing this here:

I didn’t catch it until I got an email from a union official asking us to write our congressmen about it… Here’s the link to do that if you’re interested:

Do you guys think it has no chance to pass and therefore not worthy of discussion? Other thoughts?

I think the trouble is that in the past some of us have seen such musings before. There is a lot of lip service given as long as it stays in committee. If it ever came to an actual floor vote (which I doubt), the real money talks.
