The introduction of HB510 is another dangerous attempt to make Ohio a so-called “Right to Work” state. This isn’t about “rights” or “work.” It’s an attack on Labor that strips protections from working people and silences their voice.
The continuous attacks from these extreme politicians at the Ohio Statehouse are targeting the very rights that ensure fair wages, safe working conditions, and dignified retirements for Ohio’s workers.
The OAPFF will always stand with our sisters and brothers of organized labor and every working person in Ohio.
