Missouri’s HB 567, signed by Gov. Mike Kehoe into law on July 10, repealed statewide earned paid sick time while simultaneously modifying the state’s minimum wage law.

It eliminated the automatic inflation adjustments that were set to begin in 2027 and kept the $15 per hour rate for public employers. However, it is also removing voter-approved worker protections for businesses as of Aug. 28.

Wow Missouri workers got absolutely fucked

    Bold of you to assume their constituents will remember or even be arsed to care. These politicians are representing districts that have been gerrymandered to hell and the people in them largely vote just based on a letter next to their name.

    They're simply too dumb and naive, or worse actually are informed but just shitty people, to vote these bastards out on any level of government

    A citizen denied paid sick leave should sue forcing this issue to the judiciary. If the courts side with lawmakers, then it will be full "mask off" that democracy in the Show Me State is a sham.
