Why Missouri businesses are suing to block a raise on minimum wage and paid sick leave

"Missouri's working class, in lockstep with allies across the state, went to the ballot box on Nov. 5 to overwhelmingly voice our need for paid sick days and fair wages in a free and fair election," said Terrence Wise, of the Fight for 15. "It's sickening to me that corporations are trying to steal our victory away and quiet the will of the voters who made this win possible."

The petition from business groups states, "While Proposition A is bad policy and will have extreme and detrimental effects on Missouri's businesses, that is not the basis of this action. Instead, the election irregularities and the constitutional violations are so significant that the election results must be overturned and Proposition A must be declared invalid."
