Right to Work Referendum Results in Missouri

This is a NY Times link to a referendum blocking the right to work, anti-union law that was passed last year in Missouri.

The law couldn't be implemented until the referendum was decided today. In this NY Times real time tabulation, remember a NO vote was a vote to bloke the anti-union law, which makes it a pro-union vote. A yes vote is to validate the state's anti-union law. another aside, the sub-votes use blue for the anti-union yes vote and pink for the pro-union No vote. It's a bit counter-intuitive. But, surfice to say, the results look very, very good for unions in Missouri.

It is a red county, but "no" is doing well. Christian county just to my south is going in favor of right to screw over workers. No surprise there, it is VERY red.

That a Democratic Senator and a Democratic Senate is good for union households.
