Committee Moves to Block Ohio Power Grab
“The road to eventual passage of Right to Work in Ohio won’t be easy,” said Mr. Hood. “But the payoff will be huge.
From Union Label’s Warner Todd Huston:
Four union thugs belonging to the Sheet Metal Worker’s union, Local 33 from the Toledo, Ohio area were caught with dozens of stolen Romney/Ryan signs and charged with receiving stolen property by Perrysburg police on Friday.
The police stopped a truck registered to the union and found in the back signs that ranged in size from the small, single yard signs to the full size eight foot long billboard-style signs.
Charged were: John Russell, 39, of Eleanor Street, Toledo, Ohio; Sean A. Bresler, 33, of Capistrano Drive, Toledo, Ohio; Corey J. Beaubien, 37, of Kelsey, Toledo, Ohio;Christopher Monaghan, 41, of Oak Street, Rossford, Ohio.
The website for Local 33 lists John Russell and Christopher Monaghan as “business agents” for the union. Russell is also a vice president of the Northwest Ohio and Construction Trades Council.
Both Sean Bresler and Corey Beaubien are listed on other sites as sheet metal unionistas.
As Maggie Thurber amusingly notes:
“Now, it is possible that the four men charged are not the same ones identified as union members and officers, but that would have to be a very large coincidence and would not explain how they got access to a truck registered to the Sheet Metal Union Local #33.”
“The road to eventual passage of Right to Work in Ohio won’t be easy,” said Mr. Hood. “But the payoff will be huge.
AFSCME has a reputation in Ohio for refusing Janus rights to employees, and the Foundation and employees aren't letting it slide.
