Within the next few weeks, Missouri likely will become the 28th state to adopt a right-to-work law, as the state legislature is working quickly to get a bill before the new Republican governor, Eric Greitens, who has vowed to sign it.

A draft version was approved by a House committee this week on an 8-4 vote and a Senate committee is expected to take it up next week. The full House could vote on it next week, and it could pass out of legislature as early as the end of this month.
