In a unanimous ruling last week, the Court overruled a state law provision of the Public Employees Collective Bargaining Act that makes it an unfair labor practice to induce or.
The Ohio Supreme Court unanimously decided the law, which declares that the organization of picketing at officials' private residences and businesses is an unfair labor practice, violates the right of free speech in the First Amendment.

On the final day of 2020, the Eleventh District Court of Appeals (Portage County), held that an Ohio law which restricted the picketing of private homes and private offices of public officials was unconstitutional under both the United States and Ohio Constitutions – reversing the ruling of the Portage County Court of Common Pleas.
The appeal arose from a labor dispute between the Portage County Educators Association for Developmental Disabilities, OEA/NEA (the “Association”) and the Portage County Board of Developmental Disabilities (“Board”) and an ensuing two-month strike by the Association in 2017. During the strike, members of the Association were encouraged to, and participated in, picketing on public sidewalks and public streets in the general vicinity of the residences of six Board members, and the place of private employment of one Board member.
