The Pennsylvania House, today, March 12, passed HB 1154 that would amend the criminal code to prohibit harassment, stalking and the “threat to use weapons of mass destruction” by union members during labor disputes.
The vote was 115-74. There were no Republican dissenters. Among the Democrats who voted for the bill was Greg Vitali of the 166th District.
Greg reportedly got up and spoke against the bill after he saw that he was a yes vote leading some to speculate that he wasn’t paying attention when he hit the button.
The bill now goes to the state senate.
