With concerns for Ohio's labor force, local unions came out today against Bernie Moreno. Representatives from UAW Local 1219, Lima Troy Area CAP Council, and the United Steelworkers are speaking out about their concerns with the lack of respect they say Moreno has for Ohio workers. With the court actions against him for not paying earned overtime to his own employees and the NBC news report that he has bought land to get back into the auto sales businesses, these laborers say that's not what Ohio needs. 

This week and next week, members of Local 624 are voting on the latest proposed bargaining package. The last one offered back in March was voted down. It's been nearly a year and a half since negotiations between the union and husky began. Since their last agreement expired in April 2019 they've been on a 24-hour rolling extension. The president of Local 624 says he's never seen a negotiation go on like this before. And he says the focus has not primarily been on wages.
