Teachers, local officials may lose ability to negotiate work contracts under billBy William Hershey, Columbus Bureau Updated 12:44 PM Thursday, February 10, 2011COLUMBUS — Teachers and local government employees would lose the ability to negotiate pay, benefits and working conditions under sweeping legislation that would also prohibit collective bargaining for some 40,000 state employees introduced by Republican lawmakers Wednesday.
