Hundreds in Dayton protest Ohio collective bargaining bill

Collective bargaining 101
What debate about unions means to you
DAYTON, Ohio (AP) -- The debate over a Republican-backed Ohio bill that would strip public employees of collective bargaining rights is reaching outside the state capital, with hundreds of people rallying against the measure in Dayton.
The crowds outside the Dayton Convention Center on Monday carried posters to share their message and umbrellas to shield themselves from the rain.
WHIO-TV reported one protester, James Fant, calls Senate Bill 5 "a full-out assault on public employees."
The proposal would abolish collective bargaining rights for state workers and restrict teachers, firefighters, police, university employees and local workers in their bargaining abilities.
Supporters say the measure could help control spending and provide more flexibility for cash-strapped governments.
