Item

Identifier: CAC_CC_109_4_22_11_0087

Scope and Contents

The letter is from Powell Construction Company to Congressman James R. Jones urging him to vote against bill HR 5900 (S 1479) which would allow unions to shut down job sites. The company is concerned that the bill would have a negative impact on the construction industry and their ability to hire both union and non-union subcontractors. They believe that legalizing common situs picketing would involve neutral parties in labor disputes and ultimately lead to domination by the AFL-CIO, resulting in businesses having to pay bribes to stay in business. The company urges the congressman to resist pressures and vote for what is best for the country.
