Some interestng OEA news.....

From John Curry, August 12, 2010
In what is becoming a perennial event, the professional employees of the Ohio Education Association authorized a strike if a contract settlement is not reached prior to September 1.
Bargaining between OEA employees and managers has been contentious for many years, resulting in a strike in 1997, and last-minute settlements in 2006 and 2009.
The support staff union is also bargaining with OEA, though it has not taken a strike authorization vote (to my knowledge). If OEA’s UniServ directors and other professionals strike, however, it is extremely unlikely the support staff will cross the picket line.
