8/08/18 - Missouri voters defeat GOP-backed ‘right to work’ law! Missouri voters on Tuesday, August 7th defeated a “right to work” law that would have hampered unions and been a blow to Unions in Missouri. State Republicans sought to make Missouri a right-to-work state, while handing a victory to labor groups whose power has been diluted by the Supreme Court and GOP-dominated state legislatures.

By a Margin of 67.5 percent of voters opposed the measure, while 32.5 percent supported it, voters overwhelmingly rejected the measure.

Teamsters National Black Caucus (TNBC) gave a lifetime achievement award to 705 Vice President, Greg Foster.  Congratulations to Greg on this prestigious award.

Greg's Speech was highlighted to encourage members to be more active in their Union.  “Attend your union meetings; get involved; go out to those rallies. It’s needed now more than ever. We can no longer continue to sit on the sideline to watch these inhumane things happen to working men and women,” Foster said.

Illinois Union Buster FINAL

Government doesn't work like big business. The middle class and working families can just fend for themselves! How's that working for you? Regretfully, the Republicans wouldn't support a tax on multi-millionaires in this state. That was a referendum on the last ballot. Over 60% of voters supported this proposed tax. That would help this state grow! But, we sit here another month without a state budget agreement! We will not support Rauner when he insists on blocking beneficial policies that would help working people support their families. I hope he's a one-term Governor!
