Unions vow repeal as Ohio bargaining bill nears passage
COLUMBUS — Even before the GOP-controlled House takes its final vote today, labor leaders and Democrats are gearing up to repeal the bill that dramatically limits the collective bargaining rights for 360,000 public workers.

The House Commerce and Labor Committee on Tuesday voted 9-6 along party lines in favor of a new version of the 435-page bill as roughly 450 protesters shouted in the Statehouse hallways.

The GOP-controlled House is expected to pass the bill today, the Senate will very likely agree to the changes, and Gov. John Kasich could sign it into law by early next week.
