[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 1537783, member: 14176"] What the hell are you talking about? There has never been a Right to Work initiative in the public (or private) sector, in the State of Ohio to date. If you're talking about Senate Bill 5 or Issue 2, back in 2011, then you still don't know what you're talking about. That Bill sought to limit public sector unions collective bargaining rights, as well as restrict public sector unions from endorsing political candidates (it preceded a Presidential election year, Ohio a swing state that was union endorsed for Obama). It had nothing to do with paying dues or RTW. When Governor of Ohio, John Kasich (R) pushed it through the state legislature, public and private sector unions worked together to gain enough signatures to have the Bill suspended until a referendum could be voted on in the Fall of 2011. The voters overwhelming showed up in record numbers to repeal the Bill by a 2-1 margin. I attended 2 rallies, one in Columbus, during this process and there were representatives from many private and public sector unions, especially police, fire, school teachers and nurses unions and their members. It was through this collective process that this travesty of a Bill never came to fruition and was one of my proudest moments as a Teamster/Union member. Wanna try again? [/QUOTE]
