The change in strategy comes as a push to rewrite national legislation remains stalled in Congress, according to the Wall Street Journal. Unions are keeping a particularly close eye on Oregon, which recently passed the Worker Freedom Act, a measure that prohibits companies from holding mandatory employee meetings to talk about organizing.
