| Missouri House Passes Right to Work - Third state to take up legislation in 2017 |
| 2017-01-21 |
| [Free Beacon] Missouri is one of three states to take up right to work in as many weeks after its House of Representatives passed legislation on Thursday. The Republican-controlled House voted 100-59 to end coercive unionism. The bill would outlaw the practice of paying union dues or fees as a condition of employment. Rep. Holly Rehder, chairman of the Economic Development Committee, said that the bill would help attract jobs to rural areas, which have lagged behind the state’s cities in employment. |

| #2 One step at a time. Firet reduce the power and purse of the unions altogether so they become considerably less able to support their public sector brothers, then go after the public sector unions. There are very few with Governor Scott Walker's abilities, as Ohio's John Kasich proved when he was unsuccessful in fighting Ohio's unions. Here's hoping he tries again soon... and comes to appreciate President Trump's support in the effort, as opposed to his predecessor's active opposition. |

| #1 Far more interesting would be the banning of unions of public employees. |
