One of the repercussions of state budget battles in Ohio resulted in two innovative companies ditching the Ohio Regional Chambers of Commerce. These two companies don’t agree with the stance this regional chamber took in support of the state union-busting bill. Here’s the statement from one of the CEOs: “I am a strong supporter of teachers and safety forces workers as some of the greatest heroes in our society. Clearly they are among the most underpaid members of our society considering the enormous contribution they make. To single these heroes out and remove rights that are available to the rest of society I feel is simply unconscionable and not in line with my personal beliefs.”
