Missouri Rejects The GOP"s Right To Work BS
From the Business Insider website tonight:
Missouri voters blocked the state's 'right-to-work' law in perhaps the biggest electoral stunner of the night
Missouri voters on Tuesday struck down a right-to-work law by a resounding margin, representing a huge victory to the organized labor movement and a decisive blow to the agenda of the state's majority-Republican legislature.
In 2017, Missouri Republicans passed legislation to ban compulsory union fees for workers who choose not to join, which would've severely limited the influence of the organized labor movement.
Former Gov. Eric Greitens signed the bill into law, but union organizers started a petition to stall its implementation, ultimately gathering enough signatures for the law to be put on hold pending a statewide referendum.
In the end, on Proposition A, roughly 67% voted against the keeping the law, while 33% voted in favor of it.

As long as Union workers produce the best quality goods, I don't mind paying a bit extra for "Made in USA" products.....Good for MO...

Are you saying this is a 'good' thing?
I thought Unions and Union fees died with Jimmy Hoffa.

With trade wars and tariffs, I'll support Unions here at home, once again....
It's one of the ways we'll restore the middle class more quickly.

A boost is what's needed now for fair workers pay....Corrupt CEO's are resigning in droves, being fired by their BOD's, or are under indictment and will soon be going to prison.....I wonder why?
Unions are scrutinized like never before, their corrupt organizers are dead and gone....You're right LDH, these aren't the Hoffa days.

Unions nearly killed the steel, coal, and auto industries in America.
Look, at the Great Lakes states. The surrounding communities. And the damage that was done.
An honest working wage will be had for a depleting workforce of a job a growing generation believes is below them.

Look at our current situation we're in the US only…….You need to expand your thinking, real consensus and lifting up need to happen, or this country will literally be torn apart.....The WORLD is about to change, we need to be UNITED once again....A new mindset needs to take place, purging the evil and corrupt, with no more division.
You should not be surprised by what I've posted, the problem has been in our midst for decades.....And it's finally going to be put to an end, it can't be allowed to stand any longer.
