Ohio Supreme Court Upholds Dismissal of Provisional Appointees

The decision affects hundreds ousted under the Bricker administration and ends potential back wages claims. The ruling hinges on the lack of non competitive examinations, undermining Civil Service protections for these provisional hires.
