Auxvasse, MO Organizing history was made in Missouri recently when UFCW Local 655 organized the first Dollar General store in America.
These hard-working men and women voted for a better life, said Local 655 President David Cook. They voted for the union difference, which means a voice at work, better wages and benefits, and the power of uniting with their co-workers.
The 66 percent vote for Local 655 made that clear, Cook said. Dollar General workers felt uniting with the union is the road to achieving the American dream of becoming a solid part of the working middle class, he said
I believe this is a positive sign for Missouri when middle class workers everywhere go to the polls next year to defeat the phony right-to-work (for less) law that ill-informed legislators are tying to force onto Missouri workers, Cook added.
