COLUMBUS

A coalition of unionized farmers opposes Ohio’s new law placing limits on public employee unions and is urging voters to overturn it on November’s ballot.

The Ohio Farmers Union calls the law an unfair attack on Ohio public worker rights.

Union president Roger Wise says “heavy-handed political maneuvering against worker’s rights” is “class warfare.”

The Ohio Farmers Union is the second farming organization to weigh in on the issue.

A farming trade organization, the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation, announced last week that it supports the law.
