Missouri legislators vote to lower workers’ wages [View all]
Jefferson City – Buoyed by an overwhelming Republican majority, the Missouri House, for the first time ever, approved a right-to-work bill Feb. 12 that curbs union rights. 
The state’s Workforce Standards and Development Committee also took up two paycheck deception measures, also sponsored by Republicans. 
The right-to-work measure combines House Bills HB116 and HB569 and would apply to all unions. But the 91-64 vote was far short of the 109 needed to withstand a veto from Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon.
The measure is moving to the Missouri Senate, where it faces a possible Democratic filibuster.
