It’s wasted effort, but if the labor unions spend $30 million fighting it, then it might be worth it.

Except that it will draw liberals to the polls.

This is one of the most important things we can do in every state that forces union membership on its citizens.

Right to work laws allowing people to CHOOSE whether they want to be in a union are very popular and should be able to prevail even in a powerful union dominated state.

I hope this gets on the ballot and that every Ohio conservative assists with this effort. It really would be game changer. Worse case scenario, we force the unions to spend millions of dollars again - this time opposing the freedom for people to chose whether they want to be in union or not.

It would alleviate the strangle hold the unions have on government. I’d like to see it happen.

There are more federal laws to protect workers and I guess this guy has never heard of OSHA? I live and work in KS a right to work state and i can see no reason to pay someone to get a job. To me it's like prostitution and guess who's getting screwed?

"Right to work doesn't guarantee rights to the workers nor does it protect the access that women and minorities have had," said Rep. Tracy Heard, a Columbus Democrat. "What we have protects workers, protects their wages, it protects them physically on the job," she said. " Lower wages doesn't make for better employees."

Does he mean you won't get the crap beat out of you if you are a union member?

you can vote down someone’s right to unionize, or you can vote for someones right to work. It's all in how you put it on the ballot. If you tell someone that you are taking away a right They will vote against that. If you tell someone you are giving them a right they will vote for it. Simple. Unions aren't bad. Forced membership in unions is bad.
