Teamsters, union families and their supporters will hold a large (and we expect spirited) rally in Missouri's state capital tomorrow as Missouri lawmakers are expected to vote on a right-to-work-for-less bill.
Lawmakers are also expected to vote on paycheck deception. Corporate special interest groups are pushing for right-to-work-for-less and paycheck deception to restrict workers' rights and weaken their political power.
Both HB1617 (Paycheck Deception) and HB1770 (Right to Work) are listed on the House Calendar for this week. Both of them contain language that would put either paycheck deception or right-to-work-for-less on the August 2014 ballot.

We could win this one.
