Missouri "Right to Work" referendum LOSING...

[brooklynite]

Proposition A: Keep Right-to-Work Law

Missouri voters will decide the fate of the state’s so-called right-to-work law, which, if it went into effect, would ensure that private sector workers no longer had to join a union or pay a fee if their workplace was unionized.

1. Yes!

[Moostache]

2. My family cast 3 proud "NO" (actually more like "HELL NO") votes today...

Hope those early numbers hold up!

[sheshe2]

3. Boom!

[kcr]

4. This is huge

This was a decisive loss. Politicians need to take note of this important victory for labor and the message of support the voters sent.

5. Yeah,

[Hassin Bin Sober]

6. I just came back from a three day canoe trip in Missouri.

The “no on prop A” signs were everywhere.

I was pleasantly surprised to find out all the “no” signs were on the correct side of an issue in such a blood red state.

10. Kansas needs to follow

we have even worse laws

[lastlib]

19. That has been my experience around Kansas City area.

Haven't seen a single pro-RTW sign or ad here--just a couple of mailers from Amerikkkans for Prosperity (for the Kochs) and Club For Growth (of Billionaire Bank Accounts).

26. I saw exactly one Pro-A mailer - junk mail for my former boss . . .

And considering he was a flaming liberal, kind of pathetic.

[BumRushDaShow]

7. Good.

Sanity prevails.

[Peacetrain]

8. Yesssssssss1

[highplainsdem]

14. Whitmer went to bat for Unions against Right to Work.

Both proved their strength together in MI tonight.

[workinclasszero]

15. I voted no on Prop A today

Looks like unions will win a huge victory tonight!!

[ismnotwasm]

16. This is really good

[hatrack]

17. Even way outstate it's absolutely getting CRUSHED . . .

In really rural counties in the Ozarks - Shannon, Texas, Oregon; in really rural counties up north - Ray, Caldwell, Daviess - it's running 60%, 65%, even 70% "No".

Refreshing, I've got to say!

[workinclasszero]

18. Almost unbelievable in redstate Missouri

Unions win big statewide!

[WhiskeyGrinder]

20. Fuck yeah.

[iluvtennis]

21. GOOD!

[rwsanders]

22. At my poling place in a very Republican suburb, I was surprised to hear that almost all the folks...

asking for ballots behind me were asking for Democratic ones.

[xmas74]

23. My baby's first vote

And she proudly voted no.

[PatrickforO]

24. YES! This is such good news.

Right to work is billionaire-speak for the right of employers to mercilessly exploit workers without the counterbalance of collective bargaining.

[C Moon]

25. That's huge!!
