Ohio Civil Servants React Against Proposed Bill

http://www.10tv.com/live/content/local/stories/2011/02/17/story-columbus-workers-protest-senate-bill-5.html?sid=102 I feel that in this poor economy, we can not afford not to have labor protections, including collective bargaining. So many of our workers, private sector, public sector, and even public-private partnership, are being forced to work longer hours, for less money. And in case some of my friends on the right, including especially the libertarian right, do not care about this matter; let me add this, those whose livelihoods do not meet the costs of living, still are eligible to receive public assistance. So the taxpayers will still be left to foot some of the bill, and the people will not be able to be self supporting. I feel that all people should be appreciated for the services they provide, no matter what they might be. And eventhough some of us might perfer it if there were no government; until if and when we may take responsibility for governing ourselves, we must adequately provide for the wellbeing of those in public service.
