2020 MO Governor's race: on Jobs


Mike Parson: Backs right to work laws

Q: Support "right- to-work" laws, eliminating unions' ability to mandate dues for workers they represent?

Mike Parson: Yes. As governor, backed "right-to-work" ballot measure. When it failed, had his staff explore feasibility of similar county-level laws.

Nicole Galloway: No. By rejecting "right-to-work" legislation at the ballot box, Missouri has proved labor "is a force to be reckoned with." "I'll always have the back of" working people.

Mike Parson: Does not support raising minimum wage "at this time"

Q: Support raising state minimum wage to $12 an hour by 2023?

Mike Parson: No. Did not support Proposition B and says he does not support raising minimum wage "at this time." [Prop B would raise the minimum wage to $8.60/hour now, and phase in increases to $12/hour in 2023].

Nicole Galloway: Yes. Supported Proposition B, which will raise state minimum wage to $12 an hour by 2023. "Every worker deserves a living wage."
