10-1! Ohio Collective Bargaining Under Attack

The right to participate in collective bargaining is something that most of us take for granted. We have enjoyed this right for thirty years.

The State of Ohio is putting public sector employee's rights to collective bargaining in the hands of Ohio voters with a referendum which will appear on the ballot on November 8, 2011. This issue has the possibility of negatively impacting public sector employees across the nation should this referendum take away those collective bargaining rights.

The Ohio FOP needs your support and needs it now! Please take a moment to read the National FOP President's Appeal Letter.
