Monday is a big day for Indiana politics. House Democrats are expected to return to work after boycotting the Right to Work bill.
The boycott has been going on for the past two weeks.
That bill bans contracts between companies and labor unions that force non-members to pay dues.
Opponents say the bill will stagnate wages for workers.
Republican speaker Brian Bosma says the house will vote on the amendment, if democrats stop the boycott.
