Drive Against Workers A Missouri insurance fund drive
A house bill introduced to require employee contributions to unemployment funds faces strong opposition from state senators Avon McReynolds and George Rozier and organized labor. They say employee contributions amount to a de facto 1 percent income tax and hurt workers, stressing that wages in lower brackets should be tax exempt. A Senate bill favors a pooled fund with no employee contributions, allowing employer handling of costs.
