Thankfully the measure is actually much more restricting than Wisconsins. The unions just do not want to reengage with reality. From the APblockquoteUnionized workers in Ohio could negotiate wages, hours and certain work conditions but not health care, sick time or pension benefits. The measure would do away with automatic pay raises, and base future wage increases on merit.blockquoteUm, guys. Seriously. Welcome to the reality of all those good taxpaying people that pay YOUR salary. Is it really about money Or is it because you are pawns in a bigger effort to destroy capitalism and replace it with Socialism. Can you just not understand that you have killed the golden gooseblockquoteOhio Gov. John Kasich, a Republican like his Wisconsin counterpart, Scott Walker, praised the development. Both have pushed the collective bargaining bills as part of budgetbalancing measures.This is a major step forward in correcting the imbalance between taxpayers and the government unions that work for them, Kasich said.blockquoteUnions whine about inequality but they are paid more in wages and benefits than the very taxpayers that make those payments. They yell about the greedy bankers and capitalist corporations yet they seem equally as ambitious about emgetting what is mineem.
