VP of Ashtabula, Lake, Geauga Farmers Union chapter tells public meeting why he supports repeal of S.B. 5

Wally Kauffman is a longtime Ohio Farmers Union member who is currently serving as the vice president of the Ashtabula, Lake, Geauga Counties Farmers Union. In this video clip from a recent public meeting held for family farmers and others interested in rural issues affecting northeast Ohio, Kauffman put forth his case for voting no on State Issue 2 this November. State Issue 2, if it should fail at the ballot box, will nullify Senate Bill 5 which the Ohio General Assembly passed and Gov. John Kasich signed into law earlier this year. S.B. 5 is a direct attack on Ohio workers’ right to organize and collectively bargain for wages, benefits and safety issues.
