| The Rev. Jesse Jackson revved up union workers at a downtown rally today to oppose Senate Bill 5, a Republican-backed proposal to overhaul the state's collective bargaining law. A few hundred laborers packed the basement of a Teamsters union hall, a day after about 5,500 union supporters descended on the Statehouse to oppose the bill, which is supported by Republican Gov. John Kasich. Thousands of Ohio's public workers in various lines of work are expected to join police and firefighters today to protest Senate Bill 5, which was introduced earlier this month. The Senate Insurance, Commerce and Labor Committee is meeting at 4 p.m. today to debate the plan. It will be the fourth public hearing on the bill, which was introduced by Sen. Shannon Jones, a Republican from Springboro. |
