The Missourians for Healthy Families & Fair Wages Initiative is Proposition A on the Nov. 5 ballot. After the League endorsed it in 2023, League members helped gather signatures to get it on the ballot. If approved, Missouri’s minimum wage would rise to $15 by 2026 and many workers could earn paid time off to care for themselves and loved ones. 

The petition asks: Do you want to amend Missouri law to:

  • Increase minimum wage January 1, 2025 to $13.75 per hour, increasing $1.25 per hour each year until 2026, when the minimum wage would be $15.00 per hour;
  • Adjust minimum wage based on changes in the Consumer Price Index each January beginning in 2027;
  • Require all employers to provide one hour of paid sick leave for every thirty hours worked;
  • Allow the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations to provide oversight and enforcement; and
  • Exempt governmental entities, political subdivisions, school districts, and education institutions?
