Bill > SJR4

This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to be placed on the ballot in Missouri's 2026 general election, which would explicitly protect and expand employees' rights to collective bargaining. The amendment would establish a constitutional right for employees to organize and negotiate collectively through representatives of their own choosing, specifically to discuss and determine wages, hours, working conditions, economic welfare, and workplace safety. Importantly, the resolution would prohibit any state laws that would interfere with, negate, or diminish these collective bargaining rights, including laws that would prevent labor organizations from creating agreements that require union membership as a condition of employment. By placing this amendment in the state constitution, the resolution aims to provide strong legal protection for workers' rights to organize and collectively negotiate their employment terms, ensuring that future legislative attempts to restrict these rights would be constitutionally prohibited.
