Q. Won’t this legislation help bring jobs to Missouri?

Supporters claim this legislation is needed to protect jobs, but workers are no longer required to work with lead, asbestos, benzene and other workplace toxins. These activities ceased decades ago when the mines were closed and the asbestos plants shut down. Letting companies that poisoned previous generations of workers off the hook will not save Missouri jobs today
