Ohio might become the 24th state to pass right-to-work legislation, according to the Toledo Blade. A Quinnipiac Poll released this week revealed 54 percent of Ohioans would support such an issue if placed on the ballot. Pollster Peter Brown told the Columbus Dispatch that growing support for such legislation "makes one take notice," especially after the defeat of collective bargaining reform in Senate Bill 5 by 23 percentage points in the fall.

Here are some facts about a possible Ohio right-to-work ballot amendment and the Quinnipiac Poll:

* Brown's analysis noted independent voters played a big role in the repeal of SB5. According to Brown, independent voters sided with pro-union factions but are now supporting the right-to-work issue. Brown also contends independent voters typically decide elections in Ohio.

* The right-to-work Quinnipiac Poll results revealed 55 percent of independent voters would likely support changes to mandatory union membership and fair-share laws pertaining to dues payments. A total of 77 percent of Republicans polled also support making Ohio a right-to-work state. Poll results indicate 61 percent of Democratic voters oppose such a change.

1. "right-to-work" is a giant fucking lie.

If it's your "RIGHT" to work....why aren't you guaranteed a job then? It is after all, a "RIGHT". Fucking lying union-busting.

2. It's anti-union, pure and simple.

Looks like Democrats have their work cut out for them educating voters on this.

3. Yes it is anti-union

I was taught about this when I was in high school. Not sure if they teach this any more?

8 years of Reagan may have changed all that?

5. Yes. Dems need to start reframing it and call it "right-to-fire"

every single time they talk about it. Don't even refer to the Orwellian "right-to-work" term. Just start using right-to-fire.

6. Is anyone using the "Right to Fire" term? I think it's excellent. n/t
