Battle over 'right to work' looms in Missouri

The St. Louis Dispatch reports:
Fresh from this month's huge election victories, Republican leaders plan to push a right-to-work law as part of their pro-jobs agenda in the legislative session that begins Jan. 5. The package also will include business tax cuts and regulatory changes.
There's more:
from 2003 to 2008, jobs in right-to-work states grew by 9.1 percent, while jobs in non-right-to-work states grew by 3.6 percent.
It's hard to compete when the costs are lower somewhere else.
