Phony 'right-to-work' (for less) ballot wording rejected by judge
An effort to put the phony so-called “right-to-work” (for less) issue into the Missouri Constitution in a future election received a setback in a court ruling last week.
A new anti-worker right-wing group from Washington, D.C, the Liberty Alliance, wants to come into Missouri to circulate an initiative petition to get enough voter signatures to put an RTW issue on a future ballot as an amendment to the Missouri Constitution. A Cole County judge rejected Republican Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft proposed wording for that ballot as “insufficient” and instead crafted wording of his own.
The ruling came as a result of a lawsuit filed by the Missouri AFL-CIO, which sees this ruling as a “victory” of sorts.
TRICK VOTERS
“We have seen time and time again that politicians backed by greedy CEOs try to manipulate voters to vote for so-called right-to-work ballot initiatives,” said Missouri AFL-CIO President Jake Hummel. “Missouri voters resoundingly voted no on a ‘right-to-work’ ballot initiative (Proposition A) in 2018 and now they are trying to play games with proposed ballot language to trick voters again.”
