Finally, a bill that says enough with union thugs holding us hostage. Commerce should not be a bargaining chip.

Calling it 'Freedom From Union Violence' is rich when the real violence is economic exploitation, not picket signs.

Protecting peaceful picketing but tying prosecutors' hands? Nice try, but this bill just neuters labor’s voice.

Looks like Congress wants to stop violence without kneecapping labor — an uphill battle with unclear footing.

If picketting crosses the line into violence, federal law should step in—no more local slaps on the wrist.

Trying to strike a balance, but this bill feels like walking a legal tightrope with no safety net.

Protecting businesses and law-abiding Americans from union intimidation? About time someone did.

Criminalizing union 'violence' again? Seems like a fancy new way to punch workers while pretending it's about safety.

Aiming to keep commerce flowing while respecting protest, but don’t expect everyone to see eye to eye here.
