The website GovernmentExecutive.com reports that the omnibus spending bill passed the House of Monday without the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act and some of the other labor and employment law provisions that were considered for inclusion.

A host of matters unrelated to appropriations surfaced in the final negotiations, in some cases only getting resolved in the final hours before the bill was filed early Monday morning.

For example, Democrats backed off an attempt to add House-passed legislation, backed by GOP moderates like Sen. Olympia Snowe of Maine, to bar employers from discriminating based on an individual's genetic information.

Democrats also failed to include a provision that would have blocked enforcement of the Department of Labor’s Revised LM-30 rule.  According to GovernmentExecutive.com:

Labor issues were particularly troublesome for the White House, with Democrats seeking to reward one of their core constituencies.

Late Sunday night, a provision was jettisoned from the final measure that would have barred the Labor Department from enforcing new financial reporting requirements unions deem onerous.

Currently, union members are required annually to fill out a two-page form certifying their personal financial dealings with any company represented by their union.

Under new rules being promulgated by the administration, employees would be required to submit vastly expanded information on their finances, including on things like home improvement loans they got from a bank that does business with a company that employee's union represents.

Another labor-related provision that did not make the final cut was language that would have extended NLRA jurisdiction to Fed-Ex ground employees.
