The union-busting HB267 advanced out of a Senate committee on a narrow 4-3 vote on Wednesday afternoon.
The bill from Rep. Jordan Teuscher, R-South Jordan, takes away the collective bargaining rights of public employees. Union members have launched an all-out blitz to oppose the bill.
Committee chair Sen. Dan McCay, R-Riverton, cast the deciding vote to advance the legislation, but urged Teuscher to work with union members to find an acceptable compromise before it comes up for a vote in the full Senate.
