St Louis and KC pull a lot of weight in the legislature. They are also (particularly St. Louis) big union cities. I would be very surprised if this even gets out of committee.
You could be right that it will never get out of committee; however, this effort is useless as long as Missouri is not a RIGHT TO WORK state.
Ping
SB 1 is out of Cmte. and recommended “do pass.” SCS with 206 in MO Senate. In “perfection” stage now...
Not sure when it comes up for debate...
Lol, spread the union protesters thin!
I agree! Maine is now considering anti-union measures. Reverse Clowward-Piven these punks. Overload their defense funds and rent-a-thug resources by foisting multiple fights upon them in multiple states thereby causing a complete breakdown of their resources.
Make Ohio, Maine, Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan Right to Work states and eliminate collective bargaining for state employees. Hit the bastards where they live! Leave them with less money and even less access to money for the 2012 campaign.
