Right to work would lower wages and standards across our state and we will continue to fight it tooth and nail until the veto is sustained in September.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRight to work sounds good on paper, but in reality it means lower paying jobs, fewer benefits, and more dangerous workplaces. It is being pushed by out of state special interests who believe workers do not deserve a say in the terms of their employment. Plain and simple, it\u2019s a corporate giveaway at the expense of everyday Missouri families.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve been fighting this legislation for 5 years so you better believe we are ready for another three months. Right to work proponents may not have the votes to override now, but the millionaires and billionaires pushing this bill will spend the summer trying to change that. In the meantime, the UFCW will be working with our Republican and Democratic partners in the Legislature to sustain the veto. UFCW members will be reaching out directly to their friends and neighbors to let them know that Missouri cannot afford a future with right to work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSimply put, right to work would be a disaster for the hard-working families of our state and the UFCW will not rest until it is defeated once and for all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">###<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Join the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ufcw.org\">United Food and Commercial Workers International Union<\/a> (UFCW) online at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ufcw.org\">www.ufcw.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\nWe are 1.3 million families standing together to build an economy that every hard-working family deserves.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/UFCWinternational\">www.facebook.com\/UFCWinternational<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/UFCW\">@UFCW<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Missouri \u2014 Dave Cook, President of United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 655, Steven Straher, President of UFCW Local 88, and Tom Price, President of UFCW Local 2, representing 20,000 workers across Missouri, today released the following statement in response to Governor Jay Nixon\u2019s veto of right to work legislation. \u201cOn behalf of the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":206,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20094","press_releases","type-press_releases","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-press-releases"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>UFCW Members in Missouri Will Not Rest Until Right to Work is Defeated Once and for All - The United Food &amp;
