This is just the beginning. To make sure we repeal so-called “Right to Work” and send a message to those who want to lower our wages and silence our voices, we must spend this next year showing voters in every county that “Right to Work” is WRONG for Missouri and will hurt all of us. Every member will need to speak to their friends and family, their neighbors, their coworkers on the jobsite, and remind them how serious and negatively impactful "Right to Work" will be to every citizen of Missouri.
It will not only be time consuming, it will be expensive to fight the out of state corporate interests paying for the TV ad space spent slandering us. You can get more information on how to donate to 18 for 18 to help raise funds to fight Right to Work through WeAreMo.
