Reuters: Ohio panel votes to end union right to strike
UPDATE: Senate voted 17-16 for the bill. The measure now goes to the state House, where the GOP holds a 59-40 majority.

An Ohio state Senate panel voted on Wednesday to strip public sector unions of some collective bargaining rights and end their right to strike, in the latest swipe at the power of unions by a state.

FACTS:

• "Ohio also is far more important to the union movement than Wisconsin, with the sixth largest number of public sector union members among states, twice the number in Wisconsin. [Article]"
• The Ohio proposal eliminates binding arbitration of contract disputes by a neutral third party -- instead leaving the final decision to the legislative body. "Democrats said this is unfair, since it gives the ultimate decision to the employer." (Which is elected government, right?)[Article]
• Collective bargaining would not be allowed on numerous issues, including transfers, hours and working conditions. 
• Ohio only requires a simple majority to vote on bills, so it would do the Ohio Democrats no good to leave the state.[Article]
• The bill would ban strikes by all public sector workers.  CNN
• It would "remove unionized workers' ability to negotiate health care, sick time or pension benefits."   NBC

The bill now goes to the Senate for a vote where Republicans have a 23-10 majority.
