Issue Position: Right to Work, Living Wage

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2018
Issues: Business, Consumers, and Employees

I oppose the legislative effort to impose a so-called "right to work" in Missouri. What RTW proponents want to do is make it harder for people to form unions and to bargain collectively. An attack on union families is an attack on all Missouri families.

I support an increase to the state's minimum wage of $7.85. We need to raise the minimum wage incrementally every year.

I support keeping the state's unemployment benefits at 20 weeks, and do not support the current effort to reduce benefits to 13 weeks.
