Missouri Supreme Court strikes down anti-picketing law

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - The Missouri Supreme Court says a 2018 law banning public union workers from picketing is unconstitutional. Supreme Court judges on Tuesday sided with a lower court that struck that provision from law.

Public-sector workers already are prohibited from striking. But the 2018 law banned picketing of any kind. Supreme Court judges say that violates public workers' constitutional right to freedom of speech.
