LIMA, OH (WLIO) - With concerns for Ohio's labor force, local unions came out today against Bernie Moreno. Representatives from UAW Local 1219, Lima Troy Area CAP Council, and the United Steelworkers are speaking out about their concerns with the lack of respect they say Moreno has for Ohio workers.
