DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio labor board has ruled the faculty strike at Wright State University can
continue.
The State Employment Relations Board decision Sunday followed arguments from the faculty union and the
university. University officials had filed an unfair labor practices complaint asking the board to stop
the strike, claiming it was unauthorized and workload complaints couldn’t be included in collective
bargaining.
The union’s attorney argued workload was previously agreed to separately from collective bargaining and
the strike is lawful.
WSU President Cheryl Schrader’s statement Sunday said union "actions to prevent the university from
operating are having a significant toll."
The strike began after the union rejected employment terms issued by school trustees in areas including
health care and pay. The suburban Dayton school said it offered the best terms it could.
