Kinder to campaign Monday in Cape Girardeau

Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder on Monday will stop in Cape Girardeau as part of his campaign against federal legislation making it easier for workers to gain union representation. Kinder is spearheading an initiative petition drive to block a union-backed effort for what is called card-check, which would require that employers recognize a union when more than half of their workers sign a card stating they want union representation. Kinder's proposal would amend the Missouri Constitution to require an election by secret ballot to decide if the workers want a union. Kinder's program will be held at 11:30 a.m. Monday at Port Cape Girardeau Restaurant and Lounge, 19 N. Water St.
