Ohio Anti-Union Group Creates Fake Endorsement In Television Ad

Ohio voters will go to the polls and decide the fate of the new anti-Union labor law (SB5) that would limit collective bargaining rights for state employees. The bill was recently passed by the GOP led state legislature and signed into law by newly elected Republican Governor John Kaschich. The new law sparked fury in the general public, however. A pro-Union organization recently spear-headed a petition to recall the new law (SB5). They collected over 900,000 valid signatures to recall this new law at the ballot box. They only need slightly more than 200,000 to put the law on the ballot for a vote.

A group called Building A Better Ohio, who supports the new anti-Union law, recently created a television advertisement about the new Union law. Unfortunately, they spliced the words of a pro-Union grandmother who was featured in a pro-Union advertisement explaining how her granddaughter was saved by Ohio firefighters and how this demonstrates why Ohioans need to protect firefighters' rights.

Here are the clips of both television advertisements.

This is the ad for protecting the collective bargaining rights of state employees in Ohio.
