COLLECTIVE BARGAINING END-RUN--Ohio AFL-CIO President William Burga, left, gestures as he speaks with reporters concerning last-minute provisions in the House version of the Capital Budget bill, during a news conference, at the Ohio Statehouse, in Columbus, Ohio, on Wednesday, Dec. 4, 2002. Also seen is Irwin Scharfeld, of the Ohio Civil Service Employees Association. Organized labor is opposed to provisions that would make member attorneys ineligible for union representation and particularly concerned that management could reject a Fact Finder's recommendation by taking away authority from the General Assembly and giving it to the non-elected state Controlling Board.
