Trumka: ‘The stakes in the Missouri gubernatorial race are enormous’
Kansas City, MO – The race for Missouri governor is the most important gubernatorial race in the country, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka told roughly 200 delegates at the recent Missouri AFL-CIO’s 28th Biennial Convention in Kansas City, MO.
“The stakes are enormous,” Trumka said, noting that Attorney General Chris Koster opposes so-called “right-to-work” and his Republican opponent Eric Greitens has vowed to sign it into law.
“If we lose this race, Missouri will become a ‘right-to-work’ state,” Trumka said. “It’s that simple.
“I am not exaggerating when I say this is the most important gubernatorial race in the country,” he said. “As Attorney General, Chris Koster has fought with us and for us. He strongly opposes ‘right-to-work.’ He will invest in education and job training. And he will always give unions a seat at the table.
