LaTourette Joins Dems on Employee Free Choice Act

An examination of House Roll Call 118 for the 110th Congress shows that Steve LaTourette, (R-OH), was the only Ohio Republican to vote with the Ohio Dems for the Employee Free Choice Act. As far as we can tell, all the other Republicans voted against this bill, which was being pushed by organized labor to restore equality in the battle for union representation. This is the second time that LaTourette has sided with Dems in an important vote while all other Ohio Republicans voted with the Republican leadership, the first being on the Iraq War Resolution opposing the surge ordered by President Bush.
