Today, two Republican Ohio Representatives Kristina Roegner and Ron Maag submitted bills seeking to take away rights from unions and their members in Ohio.<br \/>\nRoegner&#8217;s bill goes after private-sector unions such as UTU-SMART while Maag&#8217;s bill focuses on unions of the public sector.<br \/>\nOhioans are clearly against this type of legislation with 60 percent of Ohio voters having voted down similar legislation in Senate Bill 5 (SB 5) that was introduced in 2011. SB 5 almost cost Ohio Republican Governor John Kasich his job when he sought to make SB 5 law without allowing Ohioans to vote on it. Petitions and outcries were heard loud and clear in Ohio&#8217;s government and SB 5 went to the people to be voted on in November 2011 and was voted down.<br \/>\nOhioans are still working on getting an amendment passed that would allow the people of Ohio to vote to remove a governor from office as a result of the SB 5 fiasco.<br \/>\nKasich has refused to support any right-to-work bill since SB 5 failed and has instead remained focused on other legislation. Kasich has yet to weigh in on the new legislation that was introduced today.<br \/>\nPennsylvania and Missouri are also facing similar bills in their respective Houses. Recently, the state of Maine rejected right-to-work bills in both the state House and Senate, effectively killing those bills.<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>05\/02\/13 UPDATE: Ohio right-to-work bills were considered &#8220;dead-on-arrival&#8221; as Senate Republic President Keith Faber rejected the bills last night in an after-hours press conference. \u201cWe have an ambitious agenda focused on job creation and economic recovery, and Right to Work legislation is not on that list.\u00a0After discussions with other leaders and my caucus, I don&#8217;t [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[9,988,18],"tags":[163,1853,1358,1878,819,987,814,1879,1801],"member_types":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.0 -
