My comment to the local lib newspaper, which is heavily in favor of higher taxation and the pacifying of all union demands:<\/p>\n<p>Governor John Kasich offered an olive branch to the public employee union, and it was promptly chewed up and spit back at him. The union leaders, in effect, said it was too little, too late. I am not one that makes such claims that unions are unnecessary and are relics from a bygone era. It is clear that Ohio, one of the largest union, or &#8220;no right to work,&#8221; states, has been handicapped in its ability to promote new and profitable businesses in the state, because of the demand on tax payers to pay government employees all that they would wish. And, there is a difference between types of unions. Private business unions must fight in negotiations for benefits, and hope that the company profit be sufficient enough to pay the demands of labor. Public employee unions have no stake in the success of their government operations, but are guaranteed their wages and benefits from the state, which pays them from taxes which are paid by the public so as to avoid jail &#8211; at the point of a gun.<\/p>\n<p>Non union Ohio citizens, as well as private business unions, should realize that when a dollar is taken out out of the private sector, and placed in the public sector, it is money diverted from use by the private sector, and therefore,it is money diverted from private union employee pay and benefits, as well. We need public employee unions, but we just cannot afford to pay them all that they want. If union members, both private and public, boast of having solidarity, then why won&#8217;t any union members take cuts in pay so that their fellow members can keep their jobs?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\"><strong>For more information about SB5 click hyperlinks below&#8230;<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Bill Analyses<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica;font-size: x-small\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lsc.state.oh.us\/analyses129\/s0005-rs-129.pdf\">Analysis &#8211; SB 5 &#8211; As Reported by Senate Committee<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lsc.state.oh.us\/analyses129\/s0005-rh-129.pdf\">Analysis &#8211; SB 5 &#8211; As Reported by House Committee<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lsc.state.oh.us\/analyses129\/s0005-ps-129.pdf\">Analysis &#8211; SB 5 &#8211; As Passed by Senate<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lsc.state.oh.us\/analyses129\/s0005-prop-129.pdf\">Analysis &#8211; SB 5 &#8211; As Proposed<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lsc.state.oh.us\/analyses129\/s0005-i-129.pdf\">Analysis &#8211; SB 5 &#8211; As Introduced<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lsc.state.oh.us\/analyses129\/11-sb5-129.pdf\">Analysis &#8211; SB 5 &#8211; Final<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watchwoman comments:\u00a0SB5 is very similar to the legislation passed in Wisconsin that caused uprisings, riots and protests (all set up by union bosses\/thugs and professional agitators &#8211; otherwise known as community organizers). \u00a0In Ohio, the union members have collected enough signatures to get SB5 on the ballot this November (in the hopes of getting it\u00a0rescinded).&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":403,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3170,599,256,344,435,1331,1367,701,704,223,137,463,550,1867,421,1121,1922,1502,705,885,1349,1680,1498,174,827,1354,258,1620,131,68,450,1743,407,434,1838,875,408,429,1920,484,1159,133,806],"tags":[2606,197,296,2605,2680,2512,2604,2515,3171,2603,9326,1818,2513,2681,290,132,2516,134,2607,2441,2514,2907,832],"class_list":{"0":"post-6600","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"hentry","6":"category-balanced-budget","7":"category-big-government","8":"category-brainwashing","9":"category-bullying","10":"category-communism","11":"category-conservative","12":"category-deceptions-and-lies","13":"category-democrats","14":"category-economics","15":"category-economy","16":"category-education","17":"category-elections","18":"category-entitlements","19":"category-evil-plot","20":"category-extreme-environmentalism","21":"category-failed-policies","22":"category-global-warming-globalony","23":"category-godlessness","24":"category-government-2","25":"category-government-waste","26":"category-individual-terrorism-the-little-terrorist","27":"category-injustice","28":"category-insanity","29":"category-jobs","30":"category-law-enforcement","31":"category-liberals","32":"category-media","33":"category-moral-decline","34":"category-ohio","35":"category-political-correctness","36":"category-politics","37":"category-polls","38":"category-pray","39":"category-propaganda","40":"category-public-government-schools","41":"category-republicans","42":"category-seniors","43":"category-society","44":"category-taking-america-back","45":"category-taxes-2","46":"category-the-christian-revolution","47":"category-unions","48":"category-warning","49":"tag-bankrupting-ohio","50":"tag-columbus","51":"tag-community-organizer","52":"tag-control-spending","53":"tag-firefighters","54":"tag-gov-john-kasich","55":"tag-governor-john-kasich","56":"tag-increasing-ohios-taxes","58":"tag-issue-2","59":"tag-ohio","60":"tag-ohio-voters-will-decide","61":"tag-organized-protests-and-disruptions","62":"tag-policemen","63":"tag-public-employees","64":"tag-sb-5","65":"tag-tax-spend-democrats-vs-fiscally-responsible-republicans","66":"tag-teachers","67":"tag-union-bosses","68":"tag-union-thugs","69":"tag-union-controlled-media","70":"tag-vote-yes-on-issue-2-november-8-2011","71":"tag-wisconsin"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Ohio&#039;s SB5 - Public Unions Vs.
