huzzah for Ohio!
from NPR: Ohio repeals anti-labor law
Voters in Ohio have defeated a new law that limits the collective
bargaining rights of unionized public workers. Since the law hadn't
taken effect yet, current union rules will remain in place. Ohio voters
hope their outcome will send a message to other states considering
similar laws.
I heard a good deal about this effort from Emily's parents, who were active in the repeal movement, and I've followed reports in the news since then. This was a typical Republican anti-labor law, and I'm glad to see that the efforts of organizers like E's folks have paid off in its repeal. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
