Repealing paid sick leave endangers rural Missouri families and hospitals, Abby Ehrhardt writes for @missouriindependent.com.
“Sick workers forced onto the job do not just endanger themselves. We all pay when staff work sick.” missouriindependent.com/2025/09/22/r... #MOLeg #MOGov #ProtectPaidSick
A smiling person stands outside Oddly Correct a coffee shop in KC, holding a blue sign that says “This Business Provides Paid Sick Days!” The caption above reads “Missouri business owners support paid sick leave!” At the bottom, the hashtag #ProtectPaidSick is displayed.
A crowd of protesters stands in front of a government building, holding signs advocating for workers’ rights. The largest sign says “Paid Sick Days, Fair Wages.” Overlaid bold text reads: “Protect Paid Sick.” In the lower right corner, the Missouri Jobs with Justice logo appears.
Paid sick days are a win for workers. When we protect workers’ health, we protect our communities. @mojwjva.bsky.social
#PropA #ProtectPaidSick #PaidSickDays
Politicians in #moleg tried to rip paid sick time away. But repeal doesn't mean defeat. It means doubling down. Missouri businesses are still standing with workers.
We organized to win #paidsickdays, we'll organize to win it back.
#ProtectPaidSick #keepfighting
UAW member Don Looney said it best: “All of you are a leader in this movement.”
Grieve today. Cry, and yell if you need to. But tomorrow, wherever you are, take action for working people. No step is too small. #Protectpaidsick #keepfighting
📢Stay tuned—more actions coming soon.
#ProtectPaidSick #MOleg #PeoplePower #keepfighting
We're fighting for paid sick for as long as it takes.

We’re hitting the doors and local businesses across Missouri to make sure people know exactly who voted to take away paid sick time—and what we can do about it.
📢 Let workers and voters know: the fight’s not over.

In his piece for the Labor Tribune, David Cook asks why so many #MOLeg Republicans in Jefferson City despise Missouri voters.

From megaphones to homemade signs to raw testimony from workers and leaders—today’s KC rally to celebrate and defend our new #paidsick time reminded us who this fight is for. We’re not backing down 💙✊❤️ @moworkers.org #ProtectPaidSick #Peoplepower
🚨 HAPPENING NOW: Rally to defend Paid sick time. Higher wages. 1.6 million Missourians voted for it. We’re in KC today to say: hands off Prop A. #ProtectPaidSick #moleg #peoplepower
Today’s victory for workers gets us closer to liberated abortion access and reproductive freedom for all.
Thank you to our partners at @mojwjva.bsky.social for leading the charge in building the future we deserve. #PropA #ProtectPaidSick (3/3)
As Proposition A goes into effect today, Missourians now have access to the paid sick days they need to take care of their families and their reproductive health.
Thank you to our partners at @mojwjva.bsky.social and their leadership in making this win possible! #ProtectPaidSick

Proposition A to guarantee paid sick leave passed with 1.6 million votes in November because it’s what Missourians want. Out-of-touch electeds in Jefferson City need to wake up and respect the will of the people. #MOLeg #ProtectPaidSick #PeopleOverProfit #NOonHB567 @mojwjva.bsky.social
Prop A to guarantee earned paid sick leave won fair and square, and so many folks worked hard to get it on the ballot. Nearly 1,000 Missourians turned in over 210,000 signatures collected from every single county in the state. #MOLeg #ProtectPaidSick #PeopleOverProfit #NOonHB567 @mojwjva.bsky.social
Proposition A would help over 338,000 kids who live in a household with a caregiver earning minimum wage, letting them achieve better health and educational outcomes. Protecting paid sick leave means securing their future.#MOLeg #ProtectPaidSick #PeopleOverProfit #NOonHB567 @mojwjva.bsky.social
1 in 3 Missouri working parents don’t get a single paid sick day. They are forced to choose between their paycheck and their family's financial stability because staying home means missing prescriptions, food, or rent. Politicians should NOT overturn paid sick. #MOLeg #ProtectPaidSick #NOonHB567
🚨HAPPENING NOW🚨
Senate champs are holding the floor to protect our paid sick time win! HB 567 would undo what 1.6M+ voters passed with #PropositionA. Thank you, senators, for standing up for MO workers! #MOLeg #ProtectPaidSick

We don’t agree with Ray on much, but we agree with him on this: It’s hard to ignore 1.6 million Missourians - 58% approval at the ballot box. Prop A passed with a clear majority — legislators in #moleg should respect the will of the people.
#ProtectPaidSick @missouriindependent.com
Thanks so much to Senators who held the floor til way past midnight last night to #ProtectPaidSick and respect the will of Missouri voters. #moleg
Missouri Democrats filibuster GOP effort to overturn voter-approved paid sick leave missouriindependent.com/2025/04/17/m...
🗨️"I want to thank all of the folks in MO collecting sigs, knocking doors, and turning out to vote. They did their part and now its time to do our part."
That’s what leadership sounds like. Thank you, Sen. Patty Lewis for standing with workers. #moleg #HandsOffPropA #ProtectPaidSick
🚨LIVE: Senator Karla May
said it best tonight: "If you really didn't think the voters understood - then why are we changing it here and not putting it back before the voters."
This is about respect, health, and democracy. The people have spoken. #ProtectPaidSick #HandsOffPropA
The fight continues on the Senate floor now...
Earlier in debate, Senator Doug Beck @DougBeck562X underscored what’s at stake: "The fight here is somehow about whether min wage workers can take care of their grandma, go to a funeral, etc."
