Ohio lawmakers have had their chance to vote on a bill limiting collective bargaining rights for 350,000 public workers across the state. Next will be the public鈥檚 turn.
Even before the contentious Senate Bill 5 鈥?in some ways tougher than Wisconsin鈥檚 鈥?had cleared the Legislature late Wednesday, unions and Democrats in this once-proud labor stronghold vowed to put it on November鈥檚 ballot as a referendum.
"O-H-I-O! S.B. 5 has got to go!" protesters chanted ahead of a final Senate vote of 17-16 that sent the bill to Gov. John Kasich for his signature, expected this week. The vote followed a day filled with Statehouse demonstrations by about 750 people, who raucously chanted and shouted throughout the process. After a House vote of 53-44, opponents spewed expletives at House members

Eventually all states will do the same (numerous states already do not permit such).
The states where it is most necessary at the moment however is in rust belt states. Those states are literally falling apart, and many of the functions of those states are still geared towards unions and manufacturing.....something that left America decades ago. Those states have absolutely no choice in the matter. If you cant pay your mortgage you lose your house....no matter how unfair you might think it is....or how much you really think you need that house. Unions in those states forced the creation of "mortgages" that everyone knew would never get paid....they have no one to blame but themselves.Which will be the next state to follow Ohio %26amp; Wisconsin in gutting public sector union rights like a pig?
Unions are too powerful. They need to be taken down a notch. They have unreasonable demands while the public sector is unemployed and trying for years in some cases to even find any type of work.
I wouldn't be surprised if Illinois joined in. The way they have hiked their taxes recently.Which will be the next state to follow Ohio %26amp; Wisconsin in gutting public sector union rights like a pig?
The republican legislators in Ohio and Wisconsin will be recalled, fired, deported, buried, and left on the ash heap of history.
