Republican Eric Greitens doubles down on desire to lower your wages

Eric Greitens, the Republican nominee for governor, has doubled down on his commitment to drive down the wages of Missouri workers by stating unequivocally that he supports passage of an anti-worker, wage depressing, so-called “right-to-work” law.

“Eric absolutely believes right-to-work is a necessary step to create good paying jobs, and he will sign it as governor,” said a statement issued by Greitens’ campaign for an article written last week by St. Louis Post-Dispatch reporter Kevin McDermott.

Ignoring the fact that all the data shows RTW actually drives down wages, and that in RTW states, the median household income is $4,613 LESS than in worker-friendly states without this onerous law, the Missouri Chamber of Commerce continues to be its major proponent.

Of course, they represent Corporate CEOs and not working Missourians.
