Indiana's Republican-controlled House of Representatives has cleared the way for Indiana to become a right to work state.

The House voted 55-41 Wednesday to make Indiana the nation's 23rd right to work state after Democrats ended a periodic boycott which had stalled the measure for weeks.

The right-to-work proposal would ban unions from collecting mandatory representation fees from workers.

The measure is expected to face little opposition in the Senate, and could reach Republican Governor Mitch Daniels' desk shortly before the February 5th Super Bowl in Indianapolis.
