Issue 2 opponents cheer at a rally co-sponsored by the Cleveland Teachers Union and We Are Ohio in Cleveland as Issue 2 as they hear election results sounding the defeat of Issue 2 in the Ohio general election on Nov. 8, 2011. By voting no on Issue 2, Ohioans overturned the controversial Senate Bill 5 which, among other things, limited collective bargaining for 350,000 unionized public workers.
msnbc.com's Tom Curry:
In a rebuff to Republican Gov. John Kasich, Ohio voters have decided to reject curbs on public employees.
The Associated Press projected that voters would reject S.B. 5, the law enacted last spring by Kasich and the Republican-controlled legislature that limited the ability of public employee unions to collectively bargain.
With nearly a third percent of precincts reporting, more than 60 percent of voters were rejecting the law. Read the full story.

Union voters outweigh educated voters in Ohio. And the Rich, greedy Unions outspent the opposition.
The public unions didn't gain anything, they only defended what they already have.
In fact, the public union workers proved that they were more concerned about their collective bargaining..... than saving their jobs.
Lay-offs to come.
Taxpayers only have so much money.
Public union employees will have to run to their Rich, Greedy Union bosses for "Mo' Money"
paul your confused lets see The koch brothers & there groups, Freedom-work's, karl rove's groups. Do you need more? Now who has the money. I sure these groups dropped more than the union in this race.
