Rep. John Becker proposes right-to-work bill for public employees
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- And Ohio lawmaker on Thursday introduced a right-to-work bill for public employees. But like a private employee bill proposed last fall, it's unlikely to pass.
Rep. John Becker, a Clermont County Republican, introduced a bill Thursday would allow public sector employees to opt out of joining a union or paying dues. Conversely, unions could opt out from representing employees who don't join.
Employees could contribute money to the union without joining.
"House Bill 583 guarantees not only a public sector employee's right to freedom of association, it also includes a unique provision that protects unions from representing employees who choose to opt out," Becker said in a news release. "It's a win-win for both sides. Although some unions might lose a few current members, they will be stronger because those who remain will be the ones who are committed to their cause."
