merrill Posted September 17, 2016 Author Share Posted September 17, 2016 WASHINGTON — Ohioans overturned a divisive anti-union law on Tuesday, delivering a significant defeat to Republican Gov. John Kasich and a victory to labor unions. Ohio voters rejected Issue 2, a ballot referendum on Senate Bill 5, a measure that restricts collective bargaining rights for more than 360,000 public employees, among other provisions. Opposition to the legislation inspired large protests from residents around the state this year. Issue 2 failed by a vote of 61 to 39 percent. Immediately after the results came in, union officials sent out statements declaring success. “One message rang loud and clear tonight in Ohio and across the country: those who spend their time scapegoating workers and pushing a partisan agenda will only strengthen the resolve of working people,” said AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka. “From the very beginning, it’s been clear that Gov. Kasich, and indeed many politicians, were pushing an agenda that was about politics, not about solving our nation’s problems or creating jobs.” http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/08/ohio-issue-2-_n_1083100.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bludog Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Any politician who opposes labor unions is on the side of Big Money; And indifferent, at best, to the shrinking of the middle class. Labor unions created the middle class, in the first place, and now are being strangled to extinction by anti-labor government regulation. The last four decades have also seen the proliferation of giant law firms specializing in the destruction of unions. What's needed to bring back the middle class, are government policies and laws which encourage labor unions rather than suppress them.
