COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Monday is the last chance for the repeal question on Ohio's contentious collective bargaining law to be removed from fall ballots. Otherwise, voters can expect to see the referendum when they vote Nov. 8.
Passing the deadline wouldn't prevent Republican leaders and opponents of the law from reaching a deal later to change or toss out the legislation, though that's seen as unlikely.
Signed by Gov. John Kasich in March, the law bans public employees from striking and restricts collective bargaining rights for more than 350,000 public workers.

The group We Are Ohio — which opposes the law — has until midnight Monday to request the issue be taken off the ballot. A spokeswoman says the only way for its removal is for legislators to repeal the law themselves.
