THE BATTLE FOR OHIO
Ohio: Defeat
Union-Busting
Legislation!
Vote NO
on Issue 2
November 8
Last spring it was the Battle of Wisconsin. Now the Battle of Ohio is the center of the fight to defend workers' rights.
On November 8, Ohio voters can reverse the attacks on working people and begin to turn the country around. The big issue on the Ohio ballot on Election Day will be Issue 2 – the referendum to repeal union-busting Senate Bill 5 (SB 5).Â
A strong "No on Issue 2" vote will not only preserve union rights for Ohio workers. It will send a message that Wall Street – not workers – is the cause of the economic mess that we're in, and it's time that politicians started restoring jobs instead of coddling the billionaires.

SB 5 – like similar bills in Wisconsin and other states – attacks the basic union bargaining rights of public employees. Pushed by Republican Governor John Kasich, SB 5 (as well as the "Vote Yes" campaign) has been well funded by big business, including the infamous Koch brothers.
If not defeated, SB 5 will lead to more union-busting, lower wages, loss of healthcare and retirement.

More Info
Last spring union members and supporters collected signatures from 1.3 million Ohioans to force a voter referendum on SB 5. That was five times the number of signatures they needed!
An overwhelming "NO on Issue 2" vote will be a huge victory for Ohio's workers, but will also have a big impact nationwide.
Members of several Ohio UE locals were involved in the petition drive – in particular Locals 712, 718, 777 and 799. In the days ahead all Ohio UE locals will be getting their members informational leaflets and organizing "get-out-the-vote" efforts.
