Missouri Labor Movement Campaigns for Food Service Workers' Bill of Rights
What happened
The Missouri workers' movement has launched a statewide campaign advocating for a "Food Service Workers' Bill of Rights." This 10-point platform proposes industry standards, including a $25 inflation-adjusted minimum wage, employer-matched retirement plans, and paid healthcare. Workers are gathering in Kansas City and St. Louis to rally behind the campaign, which is driven by issues like paid sick leave.

Why it matters
The campaign targets the state legislature to mandate new industry standards for food service jobs. This effort follows a previous attempt in 2024 to require paid sick leave, which was approved by Missouri voters but subsequently struck down by the Missouri legislature.
