Ohio voters repeal GOP’s anti-union law



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Honey, the unions shrunk the Republicans.  In fact, they lost 2-1.  Is this a harbinger for good things to come?  Perhaps.  But it's clear the GOP is having an awfully bad week.

Ohioans overturned a divisive anti-union law on Tuesday, delivering a significant defeat to Republican Gov. John Kasich and a victory to labor unions.

Ohio voters rejected Issue 2, a ballot referendum on Senate Bill 5, a measure that restricts collective bargaining rights for more than 360,000 public employees, among other provisions. Opposition to the legislation inspired large protests from residents around the state this year.
