Creates a county option to enact "right-to-work" laws
SB 1035 allows Missouri counties to adopt "right-to-work" laws through voter approval. If a county's governing body passes an ordinance, voters must approve it in a public election before the law takes effect. The bill prohibits employers from requiring employees to join a labor union or pay union dues as a condition of employment. It applies only in counties where voters approve the measure, with specific ballot language requiring a majority "yes" vote for adoption or repeal. This directly affects employees and employers in participating counties by removing mandatory union membership or fees.
