Sponsored by Sponsored by: Rep. Dale Craft s (R – Lisbon)

What is the bill?

As originally proposed, this bill would have eliminated overtime, state minimum wage and collective bargaining rights for agricultural workers on the largest factory egg farms, such as Decoster Egg Farms. LD 1207 repeals first amendment freedoms to organize and associate for factory farm workers doing some of the most difficult, dirty and dangerous work. The bill was amended in committee to strictly repeal collective bargaining rights for these agricultural workers. It passed the House, but did not receive a vote in the Senate and has been carried over until 2012.
