Nay

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I support Section 3, but my opposition to public sector unions leads me to oppose Section 2. I am not sure what section 4 does that isn't handled elsewhere already (execution???) or at least the means for handing it are already existing in other legislation (minimum wage law)
