So-Called “Right-to-Work” Defeated in Missouri

The workers’ actions were successful. Ninety-nine of Missouri’s 114 counties voted to repeal Right-to-Work, despite less than 10% of the Missouri workforce belonging to a union. 

“This was a victory for all working people,” said APWU President Mark Dimondstein. “Momentum is on our side and we will continue to fight back against any attempt to weaken a worker’s right to collective bargaining.”

“This victory would not have been possible without the countless people who fought long and hard for this result,” said Legislative and Political Director Judy Beard.  “We especially want to thank our APWU members in Missouri who dedicated their time and energy to phone-banking, knocking on doors, and getting out the vote.”
