DOVER, Del. - The House of Representatives passed Senate Bill 35 with a vote of 25 to 15 on Thursday, a bill mandating that employees of state-contracted companies be union members.

Earlier this week, a protest unfolded outside Legislative Hall by a group of Hispanic construction workers. They opposed the bill's amendment that mandates union membership, highlighting their concerns about joining unions.

With its passage in the House, Senate Bill 35 now heads to Governor Carney's desk, where it will become law upon his signature.
