should be organized and employed by ALL Ohio Public Employees sans essential emergency employees.


Ohio Senate Bill 5vProposed collective bargaining changes

State workers

Eliminates collective bargaining for state workers, including higher education employees, and calls for the development of a merit-based system.

Local workers

Removes the requirement that deadlocked negotiations with safety forces go to binding arbitration, instead extending the prior union contract for one year.

Allows employers to hire permanent replacement workers during a strike.

Removes health insurance from collective bargaining. Management would pick a uniform insurance policy that would apply both to themselves and workers, and employees must cover at least 20 percent of the cost.

Prohibits public employers from picking up employee pension contributions.

Removes from state law automatic pay increases for experience and education.

Eliminates from state law leave policies and automatic 15 sick days for teachers.

1. Anyone remember when the UAW used to set the pattern for all US workers pay and benefits?

Then the import car companies like Honda came to states like Ohio and the workers there refused to unionize and weakened the UAW? And other Americans rewarded those non-union workers by purchasing their products over union made. So now instead of the UAW setting the pattern for pay and benefit's we have non-union Honda and Toyota workers setting the pattern for everyone's wage and benefits.

Smart, weren't we?
