A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Eight months after voters approved it, Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe signed the repeal of a law Thursday that had guaranteed paid sick leave to workers and inflationary adjustments to the minimum wage.

The move marked a major victory for the state’s largest business group and a frustrating defeat for workers’ rights advocates, who had spent years — and millions of dollars — building support for the successful ballot measure. The repeal will take effect Aug. 28.

This governor should be removed from fucking office now, and I don't mean a recall or impeachment. If the voters vote a law in the fucking governor shouldn't be able to remove said law. Only fucking voters should get to do that

Same voters will reelect him and the legislators that created the bill
