After going nowhere in 2013, supporters hope to bring “right to work” back next year

No surprises in this Missouri Times article, http://themissouritimes.com/3757/after-going-nowhere-in-2013-supporters-hope-to-bring-right-to-work-back-next-year/ .  It is clear that the billionaires who want to weaken unions will keep trying go pass right to work (for less).  At least Rep. Holly Rihder admits that "national contacts" (read ALEC and it's corporate financiers) are telling her how to sell right to work.  All she needs is a new name!  And how about doing right to work by county?  You can not make this stuff up!


Rehder said she’s made national contacts and done a significant amount of research into “freedom to work,” which she said is an alternative and suggested phrase for “right to work.”

“’Right to work’ has been beat up on so much,” she explained. “The issue is about giving workers the freedom to choose, so it’s important to have that messaging correct.”

Additionally, Rehder said she is working with her personal lawyer to research the legalities of potentially filing a bill that would allow voters to decide, county by county, whether they want to be a “freedom to work” county. She said it makes sense to let voters decide so that areas like southeast Missouri, which she represents, aren’t “losing out.”
