The St. Louis Labor Tribune shares this report from the Missouri AFL-CIO on the recently concluded legislative session. As usual, a mix of the good and the bad.
As union members we understand solidarity. In the Labor Movement workers take on the biggest mega corporations in the world – and win – through our combination of teamwork, commitment and dedication to a shared goal.
With our background in solidarity, it shouldn’t come as a shock to any of us that when the dysfunctional anti-Labor supermajority in the Missouri legislature collided with the pro-Labor super-minority it wasn’t the size of their numbers, but the strength of our solidarity that determined the winner.
The 2023 legislative session was a big win for Missouri Labor. ANOTHER big win. Despite being outnumbered with few powerful allies, our movement, led by Missouri AFL-CIO President Jake Hummel, scrapped, clawed and stood TOGETHER, as anti-Labor Republicans fought amongst themselves, to defeat the onslaught of attacks that rained down upon us.
