5/16/2013 – Urgent call to action.

Please call Senator John Lamping at (573) 751-2514.

Tell him you want real economic development and jobs. SJR 16 will create about 270,000 construction jobs for transportation and infrastructure over the next 10 years. Ask Senator Lamping to stop holding up SJR 16, and to vote yes to let the voters decide in November 2014 if they want to pass it or not.

The Senate has until tomorrow at 6pm to pass the bill. We want jobs! Call now!

TAKE ACTION NOW:

Sign the petition to save the Post Office!

Sign the petition to support the Postal Service Protection Act (HR 630). Supporting the Postal Service Protection Act will prevent post offices from shutting down, preserve overnight delivery standards, stop the unnecessary pre-funding mandate for the Retiree Health Benefits Fund and return pension overpayments to the Postal Service.

It only takes a couple of minutes to sign this petition and save decent middle-class jobs.

Share this petition with your friends on Facebook, Twitter, email and any other ways you can: http://1.usa.gov/101upvJ

Sincerely,
LIUNA Action Network

Deregulation Is NOT The Way To Go

Take a moment to read the following article from NPR. This is what happens when big business and deregulation prevail over safety and security. It is 2013, and it’s disgusting. Workplace deaths should not be going up… they should be going down. This is a travesty. Contact your elected officials and let them know your safety is on the line, and deregulation is NOT the way to go. Big business already makes enough profit. This is not China!

This is bad news:

Senate floor leader Ron Richard says Senator Dan Brown has been negotiating with a Democrat senator, and he thinks a paycheck deception compromise is in the works that can be passed without a lot of trouble this week.

Let’s be clear: there can be no compromising on attempts to silence working Missourians - the everyday heroes who keep us safe, teach our children and take care for our veterans.

Extremists like Birther Speaker Tim Jones are trying to ram paycheck deception bills through the General Assembly because they're "a way to get to the ultimate goal of so-called right to work." These bills are designed by and for radical ideologues who want even more control over our political system.

Call 1-888-907-9711 -- to demand that your Senator STAND UP for Missouri's workers, and reject any fraudulent 'compromise' that hurts working Missourians.

Stand Up For Missouri's Working Families

During this new legislative session, there is a clear choice between legislators who support our state's working families and those who demonize them.

Missourians need legislators who will focus on getting our state back to work, instead of prioritizing their political payback for CEOs and big corporations with extremist legislation like the "Paycheck Deception" bill that makes it more difficult for teachers, nurses and other public workers to have a voice on the job.

Sign our petition and tell our legislators that it's time to stand up for Missouri's working families!

Our lawmakers need to come together in support of our state's workers and push for the type of legislation that Missouri's middle-class families deserve.

Please, take a moment and let our legislators know that we're watching and relying on them to fight for our middle-class families and values throughout the 2013 legislative session.
