Unions collected well over enough signatures needed for a ballot initiative to repeal the language of Senate Bill 5; Ohio’s recently passed collective bargaining reforms. The item will be placed on the November 8 ballot, with a yes vote to uphold the law and a no vote to repeal the law. This referendum is expected to cost both opponents and proponents of the law at least $10 million in campaign costs. Republican state leaders supported the legislation as a tool for state and local governments to drive an estimated savings of $1.3 billion from a biennial budget and as part of Governor Kasich’s, One United Ohio and the Ohio Chamber’s Campaign for Jobs initiative.
SB 5 preserves the right of public employees to collectively bargain on wages, hours, and terms and conditions of their employment. Additionally, the bill does not reduce the pay of public employees nor does it apply to existing collective bargaining agreements. Some of the major provisions of the new law would:
• Allow police, corrections officers, firefighters and nurses to bargain for safety equipment.
• Require performance-based pay increases for public employees and teachers.
• Eliminate the requirement for public employees who do not join the union to pay a “fair share” toward union dues.
• Eliminate the requirement that public employers deduct money for political action committee contributions from a public employee union member’s payroll check unless that member opts in.
• Require public employees to contribute 15 percent of the costs of their health care insurance and limit public employer contributions to 85 percent.
• Prohibit public employers from paying public employees’ share of retirement contributions.
• Remove seniority and length of service as the sole basis when considering layoffs of public employees.
• Prohibit public employees from striking.
• Replace binding arbitration with a legislative body’s approval of either management or the union’s last best offer, subject to referendum if new revenue would be needed to meet the terms of that last best offer.Posted 9 months ago # -

Here's a preview of how the pro-2 advertising will go this fall.
"We tried to compromise with them in August, but those lazy union thugs wouldn't work with us to help everyday Ohioans."
