Once again the American Legislative Exchange Council is busy dictating Missouri’s legislation, this time in the form of Right To Work laws.
ALEC allows wealthy and big corporations to manipulate state lawmaking like a living video game. Are you tired of being played?
Through misleading rhetoric and factual errors, they are trying to turn Missouri into a RTW state at the expense of the working class.
The truth is, according to the Economic Policy Institute in a 2011 study, RTW laws have not boosted employment growth in states that have adopted them.
Also, it does not bring in new business and it results in lower wages for workers whether in a union or not.
Federal law makes it illegal to be forced to join a union or pay dues toward causes you do not support. This is another example of the protections we enjoy from our federal government.
In light of this federal protection, RTW laws at state level are unneeded and a waste of legislative time and money.
Our legislators were elected to represent the best interests of Missouri citizens, not outside big business interests through ALEC.
They should be focusing on Medicaid expansion, more funding for seniors, additional educational funding for public schools and universities, and increasing the minimum wage to $10 an hour to help get our people out of poverty.
Tell state legislators to vote “No” on Right to Work and get on with the business of the people.
