Oct 12/Cleveland, OH - Ohio Senate Bill 5: What it will mean for public employees and employers in Ohio - if it survives the upcoming referendum vote (#OHsb5)

On March 31, 2011, Ohio Governor John Kasich signed into law Senate Bill 5 (SB 5), limiting the collective bargaining rights of public employees in Ohio.   Among other changes, the law expands the list of subjects deemed inappropriate for collective bargaining; restricts the contribution of public employers to the health care benefits and pensions of their employees; and changes the mechanism for resolving bargaining impasses.  In response to the legislation, public-sector unions mounted a successful campaign to place the law before the voters in a referendum this November 8th.  

The campaign surrounding the issue promises to be spirited.  Professor Joseph E. Slater, who has written extensively on public sector employment, will moderate a discussion with outstanding practitioners - one each from management and labor firms - of how SB 5 would affect public employment in Ohio, as well as the policy implications of the law.
