"Show up to Work Stoned? No Problem for Some Ohio Public Union Employees"
Today, in Ohio, there is a referendum vote about unions.
Personally, I have nothing against unions; however, public sector unions have gone far beyond negotiating for proper working conditions.
Some benefits and demands are clearly "over the top"...

"Bytor" gives some background and explains some things:
"Cincinnati.com did an investigation into public contracts in effect around Southwestern Ohio. What they found are some crazy provisions from an out-of-control system that is tilted towards the unions in Ohio.Contracts approved by Cincinnati City Council include benefits that, among other things, permit many workers to draw 13 sick days a year, grant three weeks’ worth of compensatory time to public safety employees for holidays whether they work them or not, and entitle veteran police officers to nearly 10 weeks of various leaves annually.13 sick days a year? 3 weeks of holiday pay? There’s more."
