Unions are the most corrupt group short of the mob... wait, in MANY instances they are one and the same. Let me try again. The unions are the most corrupt grp short of the... uh...

The fact that these people have so much time to protest, is further proof they are under worked.

REMOVE Kasich. He lied to the citizens of Ohio. He is a puppet of the Koch's. He does not care about you and your families. He does, however, care about how much money the Koch's have promised him as payment for the raping of Ohio. I stand in solidarity with the workers of Ohio. Daughter of a union guy and wife of a union guy.

You are absolutely right. The firefighters on the right and left of the megaphone were on Ohio Task Force One (FEMA Rescue team OHTF1) which was deployed to the World Trade Center Sept. 11, 2001. When the team returned from 10 days of searching for victims and combing the rubbble, the politicians flocked to them for the photo opportunity. Today, the politicians have walked away from them and kicked them to the curb with Senate Bill 5. I know because I am the Firefighter on the right.

I still remember 9/11 when society finally looked at local heroes like firefighters n etc to be valued, but what the fuck? These politicans backstabbed them.

I hope you guys win and all other public workers. Its just complete bullshit

Despots and dictators are being removed by workers in the Middle East and we can do the same in the MidWest.

Proud to see you lads! Let Kasich feel the power of the working class breathing down HIS neck. The bully is about to get a bloody nose. How dare he take the food off the tables off working people because he and his friends on Wall St. wrecked the economy. How about hitting those insurance corporations hard? How about getting rid of the massive tax abatements for companies to locate in the community and then hardly pay their workers a living wage? Workers are on the march with more to come!
