Missouri Legislator Introduces Anti-Union Bill

Right-to-work legislation would prevent contractors and other employers from requiring that employees join unions or pay union dues

Feb 10, 2015

His goal is to fight the persistent discrimination by local building trades unions against minority workers and contractors.
