Missouri Democrats again stall GOP efforts to repeal paid sick leave

[RandySF]

For the second time this month, the Missouri Democratic Party has blocked a Republican effort to repeal a paid sick leave initiative.

Despite Missouri voters overwhelming passing a guaranteed paid sick leave ballot initiative last November, Republicans in the state legislature are attempting to pass House Bill 567, which would repeal the provision. Under the provision, employers are required to offer one hour of paid sick leave per 30 hours worked, and it is set to go into effect on May 1.

Democrats in the state Senate conducted an eight-hour filibuster into the early morning hours on Thursday, and Republicans eventually adjourned for the week without voting on HB 567.

This was the second time in the last week where Democrats successfully blocked the GOP effort to undermine the will of voters. Republicans have expressed interest in passing the bill before the state legislature adjourns the 2025 session in the middle of May.

1. Are there any media types in MO asking why the Repubs are opposed to the will of the people?

The press should be getting them on the record for why they oppose the amendment passed by the people.
