GOP to propose public employee bargaining bill in Ohio
Minority House Republicans will introduce a bill to establish collective bargaining for more than 500,000 public employees. Lead sponsor Charles Kurfess says the measure bans strikes and agency shops, sets a framework with fact finding and mediation, but lacks binding arbitration and lowers penalties for striking unions. The bill requires fiscal certification of agreements and tweaks the Ferguson Act to dismiss strikers with wage penalties and fines.
