Right now we're winning, 54-46, but let's croak 'em.
Here's what happened at today's hearing in the Missouri Statehouse, according to the <="http://www.kansascity.com/2013/02/06/4052195/hearing-on-missouri-right-to-work.html">Associated Press.
A standing room only crowd spilled into the Capitol hallway Wednesday to watch a Missouri House committee hearing on a bill barring payment of union dues as a condition of employment.
Union members sat silently as the House Workforce Development committee debated the merits of "right-to-work" legislation. The measure's sponsor, Rep. Eric Burlison, said the measure would increase Missouri's economic competiveness. He said companies are not relocating to Missouri because it is not a "freedom to work state."
The committee's Democrats argued that the measure would allow people to "freeload" by garnering benefits from a union contract but not paying any dues.Meanwhile, Progress Missouri posted audio of national No Rights At Work representatives conspiring with state lawmakers to pass the bill. They were holding a strategy session last night in the State Capitol. You can listen to the audio <="http://www.progressmissouri.org/">here.
