Ohio Stands Up against Bill 5 - CNN iReport

Thousands of people gathered on Tuesday (03/01) at the Ohio Statehouse as a Senate committee planned to revise a bill that abolishes most collective bargaining rights for more than 350,000 state workers, teachers, safety forces and other public employees.  

As an estimated 8,500 protesters demonstrated against the bill on the west lawn of the Statehouse, the committee met for about a half-hour to hear Jones outline amendments to her bill. The committee is expected to vote on the bill Wednesday with a vote on the Senate floor likely either shortly afterward or Thursday.

Union groups and Democrats were rallying for the third week in a row in an effort to stop Senate Bill 5.
