(AP) – Supporters of right to work in Missouri are coming
together to raise money to fend off attacks on the new law.Liberty Alliance attorney Edward Greim says the political action committee’s
goal is to support the law banning mandatory union fees, which is set to take
effect in August.

Union opponents are trying to derail the law by putting it to voters and
attempting to undo it by changing the Missouri Constitution. Greim said Liberty
Alliance opposes both of those efforts.

Greim works with Missouri Republican Party Chairman Todd Graves at Kansas
City’s Graves Garrett law firm.

The campaign committee Missourians for Worker Freedom is fighting ballot
initiatives against right to work. Its treasurer is James C. Thomas, who had
been the treasurer for Republican gubernatorial candidate Catherine Hanaway.
