Ohio grandmother caught in middle of union fight

[The Northerner]

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - A 78-year-old grandmother who urged a repeal of Ohio's overhaul of collective bargaining rights is suddenly at the center of a high-stakes battle over the future of public labor unions in the state.

Marlene Quinn's great-granddaughter was saved from a house fire, and she told the story in a statewide television spot paid for by We Are Ohio, the union-backed coalition that's fighting the law signed in March.

Defenders of the law operating as Building a Better Ohio recut footage of Quinn for their own ad and used it to say the bill would help, not hurt, firefighter staffing. About 30 television stations in Ohio media markets have pulled the commercial, according to a count by We Are Ohio.

Quinn has called on Building a Better Ohio to take down the ad, saying she feels violated by its use of her image without her permission.

1. How can they do that anyway?

Isn't that footage owned by someone?
