Missouri Governor Repeals Voter-Approved Paid Sick Leave Law

In a significant move, Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe has signed a bill that repeals the paid sick leave law and minimum wage provisions approved by voters last year. This repeal is part of multiple legislative actions and aligns with broader efforts in 18 states preventing cities from establishing local paid leave standards. The law, which was initially passed as Proposition A, will officially end next month, affecting many workers across the state. Local organizations have reacted strongly against this reversal, emphasizing the importance of paid sick leave for the welfare of employees.
