More today at the Missouri Ethics Commission, from working people on behalf of working people’s issues:

C171127 11/17/2017 We Are Missouri Laborers’ International Union of N.A. Local No. 42 General Fund 301 South Ewing Avenue St Louis MO 63103 11/17/2017 $15,075.00

And a couple of sarcastic responses:

Houston Roberts ‏@HR_Pundit
@RepHartzler Politicians who co-sponsor bills to institute Right To Work and end Prevailing Wage shouldn’t get to have a #LaborDayWeekend
9:04 AM – 3 Sep 2016

Ah, the “War on Labor”.

FakeVicki090316

Fake Vicky Hartzler ‏@VickiHartzler
@HR_Pundit Ha ha we give ourselves the whole month of August off in Congress.
9:03 PM – 3 Sep 2016

Labor Day:

Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.

The AFL-CIO has something to say:

Attorney General Chris Koster (D) today via Twitter:

I’ve always believed that for MO to prosper we should focus on creating jobs that allow folks to raise a family & save for their future. – CK 11:26 AM – 4 Jun 2015

I don’t understand why GOP would pass legislation that, on average, lowers annual wages by $1,558 a year for a typical worker. – CK 11:29 AM – 4 Jun 2015

Chris Koster ‏@Koster4Missouri

.@GovJayNixon’s veto shows how important it is to have leaders who stand w/working people. Join me & thank him – CK [….] 11:34 AM – 4 Jun 2015

ALEC, General Assembly, governor, Jay Nixon, labor, missouri, veto

A television commercial running this evening in the Kansas City media market:

Right to work. It has nothing to do with rights or work. It’s about greed. It’s about CEOs who make around three hundred and sixty times what the average worker makes getting more. And it’s about politicians overreaching to give big out of state corporations who fill their campaign coffers more power to cut wages and benefits. Right to work isn’t right and it doesn’t work. Call Governor Nixon. Thank him for protecting our workers and opposing so called right to work law.
