The Buckeye Institute secured victories for five of its clients in Darling v. AFSCME, with AFSCME and the Ohio Education Association acknowledging that money was illegally taken out of workers’ paychecks and given to government unions. “In returning money that was illegally taken from Buckeye’s clients, the unions acknowledge that public employees have the right to quit government unions whenever they want and that when workers end their union membership, unions must immediately stop seizing workers’ wages.”

Grossman, a senior legal fellow at The Buckeye Institute, highlighted the “use and abuse of ‘sue and settle’ tactics in litigation against the government,” which Grossman noted, “seeks to compel [federal] agency action, set agency priorities, and (in some instances) influence the content of regulations or other agency actions.”;

Leave a Comment / Commentary & In the News /

It is even more tragic when that death was preventable. But perhaps the worst is when the child dies because of a parent’s negligence. … Columbus does not need additional gun laws to prosecute individuals who recklessly store their firearms around children. Mr. Johnson’s plea agreement and upcoming sentencing are testament to that fact.”;
