Working people win when we organize. Join us this weekend for a labor-to-labor walk in support of Yes on 6 - MO. We’ll talk directly with union members about protecting Missouri voters’ rejection of so-called “Right-to-Work” and stopping politicians from overturning the will of the people.

Missouri voters will have the final say on two measures this November. Amendment 6 addresses the citizen initiative process, while Prop A asks voters to approve the congressional map passed by lawmakers in 2025. Both are on the Nov. 3 ballot.

✊ 🎉 Big news for working families across Missouri: The Missouri AFL-CIO, representing more than 220,000 hardworking union members, has endorsed Amendment 6!

“For years, politicians have tried to interfere with the will of the people and their constitutional right to initiative petitions,” said Jake Hummel, President of the Missouri AFL-CIO. “The Missouri AFL-CIO represents and advocates on behalf of over 220,000 hardworking Missourians in trade unions across the state, and we strongly believe in protecting the voices of workers. The absolute best way for working families in Missouri to protect their voice and their vote this November is voting yes on Amendment 6.”

Union members helped gather the signatures that placed Amendment 6 before voters and have a proud history of using the initiative and referendum process to stand up for working families, including Missouri’s successful 2018 campaign against so-called “right-to-work.”

The Missouri AFL-CIO says Amendment 6 will help keep that power in the hands of working people. Vote YES on 6 by November 3rd!

Today marks 25 years since September 11, 2001. We remember the lives lost, honor the courage shown by first responders in the face of tragedy, and reflect on a day that forever changed our nation.

We are excited to welcome the workers at the City of Venice IL Streets and Garage Department, who voted unanimously to ratify their first contract! We're proud to have you as a part of our IUOE Local 148 family.

Politicians shouldn’t get an easy do-over just because they don’t like how Missouri voted. Join your Missouri Labor family this Saturday, September 12th for the Amendment 6 campaign kickoff and help protect voter-approved initiatives.
