After more than five hours of historic debate, the House of Representatives passed the most important labor law reform legislation in 70 years. By a margin of 241 to 185, the House passed H.R. 800, which would level the playing field when workers seek to form a union and bargain. Thirteen Republicans joined 228 Democrats in voting for the bill. Two Democrats and 183 Republicans voted against the bill. Watch a video of Congressman Stephen Lynch, Lt. Gov. Tim Murray and Sen.
