Union protests spread to Indiana's state capitol

The New York Post reports:

The confrontation between unions and government officials over bargaining and organizing rights moved to Indianapolis Monday as thousands of steelworkers, auto workers and others surrounded the state capital to protest a right-to-work labor bill before the Republican-controlled House.

The bill would change state law so that private-sector workers no longer are required to pay dues or belong to a union that bargains on their behalf. About 22 states, mostly across the South, have such laws. In Indiana currently, if a union bargains for a group of workers at an employer, all workers covered by the contract must belong to the union.
