Bowling Green, the universities of Cincinnati and Toledo, Miami University, Ohio University, Ohio State University, Youngstown State and Cleveland State.

"My understanding is, yes, they are considered public employees under this bill," Mullen noted. “Akron University has their union web presence talking about that, how this bill will actually take away their domestic partnership benefits."

"Domestic partner benefits will be at the whim of the university, and possibly on an individual basis instead of a policy basis," he continued. "Potentially all universities could decide to keep domestic partnership benefits because they think it's right, or necessary to recruit and retain the best employees."

However, in another year of threatened budget cuts, short-term economies might 'overshadow the long-term recruiting and retention benefits.

In both Wisconsin and Ohio, public employee unions have agreed to major legislative demands, like transparency in negotiation, increased employee contributions to pension and health care and other provi-

sions, but Republican legislators are keeping to a hard line on the elimination of collective bargaining and binding arbitration, which would leave employees completely at the mercy of their employers.

Without collective bargaining, a city could actually eliminate pensions and health care benefits for its employees. It is unlikely to happen, as most employees would probably flee to more generous employers, but it is a possible worst-case scenario.

And without the unions' ability to fight for their members, it would fall to community organizations like Equality Ohio to do so, which would take resources away from other battles.

"Without the collective bargaining agreements, we would have to spend our time and energy to make sure public employees across the state have domestic partner benefits, and that will take momentum away from other forward advances we could be making," Mullen said, noting that the executive director of Wisconsin's LGBT equality organization spoke out against his state's bill on MSNBC earlier this week.
