Connecticut Captive Audience Bill Killed In Committee
The Stamford, Conn. Advocate reports that on Monday a legislative committee defeated the "captive audience bill". The legislation would have prohibited companies from requiring employees to attend meetings at which management expresses opinions on political or religious matters. Opponents said the legislation was hostile to business, and Connecticut is attempting to attract more employers. An AFL-CIO spokesman said that his group would continue to press for the legislation.
