Utah Governor Spencer Cox signed a new policy banning unions representing a variety of public workers from negotiating wages and working conditions on behalf of their members, a decision that has shocked union leaders and members alike because of it's restrictive nature.
"Utah has long been known as a state that can work together to solve difficult issues. I'm disappointed that in this case, the process did not ultimately deliver the compromise that at one point was on the table and that some stakeholders had accepted," Cox said in a statement.
