The Buckeye Institute Files Suit Against Government Unions for Illegally Taking Wages from Workers’ Paychecks

The Buckeye Institute filed a lawsuit on behalf of ten hardworking Ohio public employees who have had money illegally taken out of their paychecks by their employers and given to a government union. Darling v. American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) was filed in Franklin County Court of Common Pleas. “Ohio law simply does not allow this unethical practice, and we are asking the court to tell the unions and the government to stop illegally taking money from these workers’ paychecks.”
