Post Dispatch Editorial: Right-To-Work Would Have Killed New Jobs in KC and St. Louis

An editorial from the St. Louis Post Dispatch calls the work a between government, workers and companies to create more jobs with Ford and GM a bright spot in the effort to get people back to work. 

(Automotive expansions) surely would not have happened had Missouri Republicans succeeded in their effort earlier this year to pass right-to-work legislation that would have diminished worker protections. They most certainly wouldn't have happened had the federal government not intervened to save the automotive industry from collapse.

The Ford and GM announcements show how bringing jobs back to the United States from overseas and investing in American workers are a bright spot that should give bickering politicians in Jefferson City and Washington, D.C., a clear path forward. A little cooperation between government, workers and corporations can create economic growth.

Together — not apart — we can all be job creators.
