Yesterday’s state races was about more than nominations and special elections. On the ballot in Missouri was a measure that would have made “right to work” legislation into state law. The measure was rejected by voters after various unions spent upwards of $15 million to defeat the law. Both Michigan and Wisconsin are said to be the next targets for overturning their state “right to work” laws.

Lies and Bullshit still sell.
I was surprised that MO, usually pretty astute, would fall for such Bullshit – but we did.
izlamo delenda est …
@Tim, probably only because of the way it was worded on the ballot to make people think they were voting against, when they were voting for it. I’ve seen that kind of crap on our ballots here. You have to stand there and read it over several times to figure out the “nuance.” If you’re not expecting to get tricked, you don’t notice it.
Missourians fscked up.
MO hired Claire McCaskill multiple times…
Not in favor of it.
Since it passed, and it is mandatory, it should now be argued that it is a tax, and that the amount of mandatory payment should be deductible from state taxes. Further, is it possible that a tax can be levied by popular vote, or need that be passed by the legislature?
I’d argue it is a tax. Ask john roberts.
Look for the “socialist label” ….. or was that the union label?
Either way, They’re both the same.
Ford employs around 7000 in a single plant – Nissan and a few others have plants there too. Not surprising how desperate they are for the heyday when their union graft numbered in hundreds of million$.
UAW fighting for its life
The crap on the ballot was written in legalese and would only make sense to a Godless Soviet.
They absolutely did it on purpose to befuddle the populace.
A firefighter standing at the polls wearing a bright red shirt with the VOTE NO on front and FIREFIGHTERS and union on back, asked voters to “Vote for us.” Many voters came out and said, We voted for you. Unions had asked for volunteers, so he signed up.
Sounds like a job for some lawyers. But the public has to throw a fit first.
