COLUMBUS, Ohio — A bill that would weaken collective bargaining for public workers is not coming in for a smooth landing.
Talks among House Republicans, and discussions between the House and Senate, have not yet produced a final version of Senate Bill 5 that has enough support to pass both chambers. The Senate passed the bill earlier this month by a 17-16 vote.
The House and Senate have not reached agreement on how to change the bill, and House Republicans reportedly are not in agreement on a path forward.
