Do you support collective bargaining limits in Ohio?
Saturday, March 5, 2011
Thousands of people have come out to protest the bills that would limit collective bargaining in Ohio and Wisconsin.
Ohio’s controversial bill to weaken collective bargaining rights for
public workers in the state narrowly passed in the state Senate,
drawing boos from bill opponents in a packed Senate chamber.
The bill is similar to legislation in Wisconsin that has drawn national attention and protests.
The battle over the legislation that some say is “anti-union” and
others say is necessary to balance Ohio’s $8 billion state budget
shortfall is not over yet.

In a nutshell, SB 5, which is supported by Ohio Gov. John Kasich,
changes the collective bargaining process for state and local
government employees, allowing public workers to negotiate only on
issues related to wages, hours, terms and conditions of employment. The
bill also prohibits public employees from striking, and bill proponents
claim its provisions will give state and local governments more
flexibility over their budgets, especially during a time of fiscal
crisis.
