Why are some Republicans pushing price-hiking, pro-union bills in Congress?

Democrats have long pushed pro-union measures sure to boost prices, even as they pretend to care about “affordability.” But why are Republicans now joining them?

On Tuesday, a full 20 GOPers crossed the aisle to pass the Faster Labor Contracts Act, 230-193.

The bill, lifted from Dems’ PRO Act, aims to boost unionization by forcing employers to agree to labor contracts within 90 days after a newly formed labor group calls for talks.

If the two sides don’t reach a deal by then, the bill empowers the feds to impose a contract on the company and its workers.

That’s absurd: The government has no business setting terms in private-sector contracts of any kind.
