Right To Work dies in the Missouri Legislature

Jefferson City – Missouri workers took a pair of hits this legislative session, but one of the most concerning, right-to-work (for less), failed to make it out of the House or Senate.

One measure in the House would have put the right-to-work (for less) question before voters in August 2014. A separate measure in the Senate, which would have made Missouri a right-to-work (for less) state, never made it out of committee.

Mike Louis, secretary treasurer of the Missouri AFL-CIO said legislators appeared unwilling to touch the measure, due in part, perhaps, to the reluctance of some Republican legislators to have to vote for right-to-work (for less) when they face re-election in 2014.

That was not the case with two other measures: paycheck deception and a targeted prevailing wage bill.

There is still time to contact the Governor's Office and ask him to Veto SB29 "Paycheck Deception".

It exempts first responders. Just another unnecessary law targeting teachers and other govt workers.
