Well proposition A right to work go voted down here in Missouri by a land slide. 65 percent to 35 percent. I have to say even though I own a non union company I'm very happy it didn't go through.

It keeps all the wages up union and non union alike. I don't know anyone that would want to make less money for the same job.

"I was most concerned about alot of my friends and family have paid into there pensions there whole life and it could have been detrimental to there retirement." Your statement contradicts itself. If they have paid in their whole life, their entire pension is funded with their own money, sitting in a bank account somewhere. So how would that affect anyone in retirement?

Not sure how all pensions work but my union pension plan is Central Pension Fund one large account paid into by all members. I don't believe any of the Unions in Missouri are individual pension accounts I know teachers laborers carpenters and operators are not.
