The New Class War on Unions Spreads to Ohio
with
Joseph Rugola, Exec. Dir., Ohio Assn. of Public School Employees,
AFSCME
Following Gov. Walker’s union busting lead, Ohio Gov. Kasich proposes to
nullify public employee unionization rights by taking away impartial arbitration
of disputes, the right to strike of “non-emergency public employees” and
protections against privatization of government jobs. Despite the demonstration
by over 20,000, it was politics at its worst, Republican leaders rammed this bill
through by kicking opposing members of their own party off key committees.

NYC Union Rally Blasts Bloomberg and Cuomo Attacks
District Council 37 Locals 375,154, 768 & 1549 demonstrated at City Hall Park
in support of the resistance of workers & their unions under attack in Wisconsin,
Ohio, Indiana and other states. On the NYC front, they railed against proposed
layoffs by Mayor Bloomberg, despite projections of a multibillion dollar budget
surplus and a plethora of costly and often corrupt outside contracts. Both the
Bloomberg and Cuomo Administrations oppose continuing the millionaires’
tax to enhance revenue rather than cutting public services and layoffs.
