Will Congress Kill Volunteer Fire Departments?

Will Congress Kill Volunteer Fire Departments? - HUMAN EVENTS
"House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D.-S.C.) wants to include the Public Safety Employer-Employee Cooperation Act as part of the war supplemental coming before the House this week.

The bill forces state and local governments to collectively bargain with police, firefighters and emergency workers.

Its critics say it would compel volunteer firefighters to join unions, threatening the survival of America's nearly 26,000 volunteer fire departments."
