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.

Hear hear!

For those who don't know: Hoosier is Missouri slang for trashy rural dipshits.

Sorry Indiana.

And for Missourians who dont know, we call trashy rural dipshits hoosiers because the original trashy rural dipshits in MO came from Indiana.

Sorry again Indiana. Although modern Indiana is much better now after offloading your trashy dipshits on us back in the day

My parents live in Indiana, and I mostly grew up in either Indiana or California. I'm not so sure the state is better off even after offloading some of the racist hillbillies from around those parts.
