And though Senate Republicans have a 23-10 majority, the bill narrowly passed the Senate, 17 to 16, with six Republicans joining all 10 of the Democrats in opposing it. And Black leaders are not being quiet about it either. “The question is is this po...

Ohio's unions protest Senate Bill 5 in Columbus on Tuesday Ohio Gov John Kasich United States President Barack Obama Ohio Congresswoman Marcia Fudge(D-11) By Kathy Wray Coleman, Editor of the DeterminerWeekly.Com and the Kathy Wray Coleman Online News Blog.Com (www.kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com and www.determinerweekly.com) Nearly 6,000 teachers, policemen , firefighters, nurses, electricians, state workers and others stormed the Statehouse in Columbus, Oh. on Tuesday hoping to stop Senate Bill 5, a measure that would ultimately strip unions of negotiating rights and binding arbitration on all things but wages. If it passes the Republican controlled Senate and House of Representatives with the support of Ohio Republican Gov. John Kasich and becomes law, the bill would give management more leeway and more control on issues such as pensions, work hours, teacher tenure and the disciplining of public employees. “This fight just started,” said Griot Y-Von, a community organizer tha...

In its unprecedented decision Ohio's high court said that the state legislature'...
