Breaking: Paycheck deception veto upheld in Missouri

Great news from our brothers and sisters in Missouri: Gov. Jay Nixon's veto of SB 29, an anti-worker bill, was sustained today. It's a big win for workers.

Lawmakers in Jefferson City are holding a session today to override the governor's vetoes on a number of issues. Not enough lawmakers voted to overrule his veto of the paycheck deception measure that passed in March. It's a billionaire-backed bill to forbid employers from honoring employees' requests to deduct their union dues from their paychecks.

This isn't a partisan issue. Republicans joined Democrats in a 22-11 Senate vote.

Big props to all our brothers and sisters in Missouri who worked so hard to make sure this bill did not become law.

There are "some" voices of reason in Missouri. More than can be said of some places........NC comes to mind.
