‘Sad Day for Ohio’ as Anti-Worker Bill Passes 17-16



by James Parks, Mar 2, 2011

“Today is a sad day for Ohio’s middle class”, said Ohio AFL-CIO President Tim Burga, after the state Senate passed by a 17-C16 margin Senate Bill 5, which would remove the freedom of public employees to bargain for a better life.

The bill now goes to the state House.

”Ohio senators have shown they would rather push a partisan agenda to punish the middle class than work on solutions to our jobs crisis,” Burga said.
