The circuit court ruled in favor of the Unions, finding SB 1007 did not mandate at-will employment and the PAB rules were unauthorized. The Missouri Supreme Court reversed, holding that SB 1007 mandates at-will employment, does not violate constitutional collective bargaining or contract clauses, and many PAB rules exceeded statutory authority by restricting bargaining over terms consistent with at-will employment. The case was remanded for further proceedings.","primaryTopic":"employment-law","topicSlugs":["employment-law","administrative-law","civil-procedure","contracts","appellate-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=189620","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/american-federation-of-state-county-and-municipal-employees-afl-cio-counc-c99179","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"employment","label":"Employment Law","href":"/practice-areas/employment","score":38,"source":"tag","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/employment"},{"slug":"corporate","label":"Corporate Law","href":"/practice-areas/corporate","score":12,"source":"topic","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/corporate"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
