The Missouri House voted 100-59 Wednesday to become the 28th state to adopt a right-to-work law prohibiting workers from being required to support a union as a condition of employment. The legislation will now move to the desk of Republican Gov. Eric Greitens, who campaigned on passing the legislation.
The measure passed the state senate on a 21-12 vote last week. The law will grandfather in existing union-management contracts that force workers to either become union members or pay it a regular fee, provisions dubbed “security clauses” by unions. But all new union contracts will forbid this practice.
