DAYTON -- City Commissioners approved this morning a resolution opposing the state's so-called "right-to-work" legislation.
A a press conference held following the meeting, several speakers explained why they say the legislation hurts workplace safety, lowers the quality of life for working people and the middle class and is wrong for Ohio.
Speakers included City Commissioner Nan Whaley, Gaye Jordan, President of Dayton Firefighters Union Local 136, Mike Galbraith, President of Dayton Police Union, Dale Herzog, President of Dayton Building and Construction Trades and Dawn Wojcik, a retired teacher.
A "right-to-work" law would limit or eliminate agreements between unions and employers that would govern the ability of the union to require membership and union due payments.
