Good move. Ohio is too much infested my left-wing, Union loving fools. Thank God for the military bases we have, which serve to offset (in SW Ohio at least) this leftist mentality.

Think Ohio’s bad, try setting up your own display booth at any show in Chicago. My then-boss’s booth consisted of three panels held together by stove bolts and wingnuts, with velcro-attached signage and clamp-on lamps for lighting.

The union steward stopped us and said we had to get TWO carpenters to assemble the booth panels (one to hold the panels, the other to attach them), then hire a sign-painter and an electrician. The two carpenters I hired took their time walking to the site (clock started at punch-in back at the desk), and the first thing BOTH of them had to do when we arrived? They had to go take a dump! My comment as to the pain they must have been suffering while holding it for so long brought a threat to file a grievance.

After that was finally over, I kept watch for the steward while my boss placed the lettering, and he kept watch while clamped on the lamps and plugged them in. There is no way in hell I would live in a closed-shop state. I never cared for unions, but I was totally disgusted with them after that.
