Congressional Candidate Comparison:

Idaho Senate

Rapid Response Congressional Candidate Comparisons track the key issues Rapid Response has taken on recently.

The following comparison is for a race considered key in your state.

ISSUE:	Larry LaRocco	James Risch
Anti-Sweatshop Bill (The Decent Working Conditions and Fair Competition Act, H.R. 1992 & S. 367) This Steelworker-driven legislation works to ensure fair competition and global worker rights by stopping products that are made in sweatshops from being sold on our shelves. Rapid Response has urged lawmakers to cosponsor the bill.	Right	Wrong
The Employee Free Choice Act (H.R. 800 & S. 1041) In multiple actions in recent years, Rapid Response urged lawmakers to support the Employee Free Choice Act, legislation that would restore the freedom to form a union. The bill provides tougher penalties for employers that threaten, intimidate and fire workers who want to join a union; requires employers to recognize the union when a majority of employees sign cards authorizing the union to represent them, eliminating long delays by employers today; and ensures a first contract after organizing.	Right	Wrong
Colombia Free Trade Agreement Colombia has the most murders of union members of any country around the globe. This pending free trade agreement does nothing to protect workers. Rapid Response engaged in a national action to stop this agreement in the past year.	Right	Wrong
Right = Supports the USW position. Wrong = Opposes the USW position. Sources: Position information is taken from Congressional records, candidate questionnaires and statements.
