House Bill 2986

Over the next several weeks you will probably be hearing a lot about Texas House bill 2986. This bill was authored by District 63 Representative Tan Parker. This is just about as bad as a bill can get if you are a member of organized labor, think Wisconsin only worse. This bill goes beyond public sector unions and strikes at all union members in Texas. Unfortunately we lack sufficient supporters in the Texas House to even break a quorum. The Republican majority in the Texas House has sufficient numbers to suspend or change all rules and pass this bill. If you are going to pick one issue to be active and engaged over politically, this should be that issue. Your very lively hood will depend on it.
