Washington, D.C. (August 8, 2018) – Sean McGarvey, President of NABTU – North America’s Building Trades Unions – issued the following statement applauding the Missouri election results for Proposition A:

“By rejecting right-to-work’s Proposition A by a 2-to-1 margin, Missouri voters sent a clear and strong message that right-to-work is bad not just for the workers and families in Missouri, but also that organized labor and our building trades unions will not be silenced. We’ve seen misguided legislatures in some states claiming false mandates to push through backroom deal initiatives – against the will of voters – that give workers less take home pay, less benefits, and poorer working conditions. But as Missouri shows us, when given to the voters, these backroom deal proposals are voted down resoundingly. NABTU is tremendously grateful to our brothers and sisters in Missouri for their tireless efforts to deliver this historic vote.”
