Taft signs capital improvements bill;
No veto on two anti-union amendments

dec 17, 2002 - Despite our Dec. 13 Columbus Dispatch advertisement, asking Bob Taft to veto the anti-union amendments contained in the capital improvements bill (HB 675), the governor failed to keep his promise.

The two anti-union amendments remaining in the capital improvements bill would:

• Take away public employee attorneys' rights to union membership; and
  
• Make the Controlling Board responsible for voting on a fact finder's report.

OCSEA currently is exploring the union's legal options pertaining to these issues.

In the meantime, if you'd like to tell Taft that you're displeased with his failure to veto these two line items and keep his promise to not attack collective bargaining, you may call his office at 614-466-3555.
