OEA staffers on strike, picket OEA building
Union on strike against Ohio teachers union
The Columbus Dispatch, September 1, 2010
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Union workers are on strike in Ohio against another union, the largest representing teachers in the state.
The Ohio Education Association says members of a union representing half its 220 employees went on strike early Wednesday, when the previous contract expired.
OEA President Patricia Frost-Brooks says in a statement that the association is disappointed an agreement was not reached in time to keep the Professional Staff Union from walking out. She says the OEA is willing to meet at any time to resolve the remaining issues.
Professional Staff Union President Norm Young says his side is concerned about pensions, health care benefits, job security and workloads.
