Court: Labor contracts must meet state law in Ohio
Ohio Supreme Court rules labor deals between governments and public employee unions do not override public records laws. The ruling limits collective bargaining influence over destruction policies, allowing only retention rules that comply with state law and denying a duty to notify unions before destroying records. Justice Stratton notes future agreements are not reviewable.
