A response to the article:
Senate Bill 5 will not only hurt the public employees but other citizens. Teachers, police officers, firemen and other public employees play important roles in Ohio’s communities and nobody will want to work in these jobs if SB 5 passes. The most important jobs in Ohio will be given to poorly qualified citizens because Ohio’s intelligent, well equipped population will
not go into these professions. The state’s already struggling public schools will provide even poorer education. Citizens will be less safe and crime rate will go up if the state has unmotivated police officers. Senate Bill 5 will not only cause public officials to suffer but regular citizens as well, thus it is suicide to make it a law.
If this bill passes and becomes a law it will not help anybody; it will directly hurt hard working public employees and indirectly hurt other citizens. Budget cuts may need to be made but not like this. It is hard to imagine SB 5 could be good for anyone in Ohio. The impact this bill would have as a law on Ohio is unfathomable. If Ohio’s school systems are horrible and there is poor protection against crime no one will want to live here and the state’s economy will crash with the housing market as people struggle to leave.
(NOTE: The bill passed today but I wrote this response last week. Yikes, what are we going to do? My dad is a teacher! Good thing my mom is a doctor and I'm almost out of school. My mom says "Glad I don't have a kindergardner.")
What's really in Senate Bill 5? Clearing up the rumors, misinformation surrounding collective bargaining overhaul
Senate Bill 5, a bill concerning public employees, passed in the Ohio Senate last month 17-16 and is currently being looked over by an Ohio House of Representatives committee. Many appose SB 5 but both sides agree there are too many misconceptions going around. Collective bargaining rights for all public employees will be reduced and although domestic partner benefits will not be taken away some worry because this is generally negotiated using collective bargaining. Safety workers could no longer be able to negotiate for protective equipment. Workers who strike could be jailed and teachers will not be able to negotiate class sizes. All these, among other issues, are included in Senate Bill 5Senate Bill 5 will not only hurt the public employees but other citizens.
