What the vote in Ohio was for were public employee unions. Those people who work for you and me. Those people that want their money while the foundations are crumbling under their feet. Those people who don't give a rat's patootie about the problems you and your family have with the ever escalating taxes to try to deal with the ever escalating bill that your representatives signed off on with your money to these disconnected people.

There is absolutely no correlation in my mind between public employee union people and their private sector union employee counterparts. It's apples and oranges.
Two public unions in New York State have settled for 0 percent raises for the next three years and have also settled for higher health care premiums. Seventy six thousand of them have settled for nine furlough days without pay. They are already paid less than it takes to live in NYC and buy a home there.

Could you imagine the disadvantage that they would be at if they were fragmented with a law like Ohio's?
