Axne Cosponsors Bill To End Corporate Subsidies For Union Busting
Companies engaged in so-called union-busting tactics, such as hiring expensive law firms to subject their employees to anti-union meetings, can currently treat those expenses as tax write-offs.
But under a new US House of Representatives bill sponsored by Cindy Axne, Iowa's lone federal Democratic representative, they would no longer be able to do so.
The No Tax Breaks for Union Busting Act, which was introduced July 20 by Rep. Donald Norcross of New Jersey, was co-sponsored by 101 other House Democrats and endorsed by several unions. It is currently under consideration in the House Ways and Means Committee.
