Missouri union activists turned in more than 310,000 signatures Friday calling for a ballot referendum on whether the state should keep the right-to-work law it adopted this year. The action put the law, which was to take effect Aug. 28, on hold until the referendum is held.

The state legislature has discretion on when to set the vote, but it is expected to take place on the fall general election ballot when incumbent Sen. Claire McCaskill, a Democrat, will face re-election.
