ARNOLD • The
City Council on Thursday night approved a resolution to oppose laws on
“Right to Work” and/or “Freedom to Work” that would prohibit requiring
payment of union dues as a condition of employment.
It states that
“the Arnold City Council believes there is no reason why the Missouri
General Assembly should overturn decades of successful labor-management
practice, jeopardize the success and stability of working class families
and the American middle class, ignore the will of the people, and
pander to out-of-state corporate special interests by adopting so-called
right-to-work policies."
About
40 union members, represented by Bart Velasco, former president of the
Jefferson County Labor Club, attended the meeting in support of the
Arnold resolution. State Rep. Jeff Roorda, D-Barnhart, thanked the
council for its “courageous action to protect families.”
The resolution was unanimously approved.
