Democrats: Greitens should have signed right to work into law at a union shop

Missouri House Democrats issued the following response Monday to Gov. Eric Greitens signing right to work legislation into law:

“Governor Greitens should have had the courage to sign this bill into law before employees at Boeing, Ford or one of the many other proud union shops in our state so he could explain to their faces exactly how Missouri will be better off when they have less power to negotiate for higher wages, decent benefits and safer working conditions.

Instead he chose to hide out in an abandoned warehouse far from critical questioning by the hardworking Missourians who, thanks to him, have fewer rights today than they did yesterday.”
