Will Obama try to block the gutting of collective bargaining union rights by the Ohio legislature?

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.

No. But exactly how do you see him being able to block it?
