Alabama lawmakers have voted to withhold economic incentive dollars from companies that voluntarily recognize a union without holding a secret ballot election

MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Alabama lawmakers voted Tuesday to withhold economic incentive dollars from companies that voluntarily recognize a union instead of holding a secret ballot election.after adding minor amendments. The bill now returns to the Alabama Senate where senators will decide whether to go along with House changes to the bill.

"It doesn't stop unions. It just gives the employee the right to vote in private," Republican Rep. Scott Stadthagen said during debate. Opponents argued that the proposal could be in conflict with the National Labor Relations Act, which governs union organizing, and allows companies to voluntarily recognize unions that show support from a majority of employees.

“I think we’re going down a slippery slope by saying that we’re going to dangle this carrot over your head, saying that we’re going to take away any opportunity that you have for economic benefits in this state if you do any of these things," Democratic Rep. Napoleon Bracy said during debate.NASCAR revels in an M.J. moment.
