Wisconsin won now we need Ohio

They need fight to anti-union bill should be repeal or Judge should halt it.


Ohio Gov. John Kasich signed a bill to limit the collective bargaining rights of 350,000 public workers on Thursday.

The Republican governor announced his plan in an email to supporters earlier in the day. A spokesman confirmed the bill-signing at the time.

The bill was approved Wednesday by the GOP-led state House and Senate.

The measure prompted weeks of pro-labor protests by thousands of people amid a national debate over union rights keyed by a similar bill passed in Wisconsin.

The Ohio bill applies to safety forces, teachers and many other government workers. It prevents unions from negotiating wages but not health care, sick time or pension benefits. It also eliminates automatic pay increases and bans strikes.

Opponents have vowed to push for a ballot repeal.

3. Indeed.

The next battle is on this coming Tuesday. We MUST elect JoAnne Kloppenburg to the Supreme Court. I don't even mention her unspeakable opponent's name--because he truly is unspeakable.
