Union members decide tomorrow at Ohio U strike likely
Ohio University non academic employees face a very great chance of a strike says union president Oscar McGee. A full membership meeting is set for Saturday at 8 p.m. at the junior fair building to decide future action while the executive committee meets tonight to possibly reconmend a strike. The talks stretched to 11:30 Thursday night leaving one issue: non union contract work. The union has dropped several demands and the university agreed to hospital and life insurance policies starting Jan 1 and a maintenance of membership clause. The main hurdle remains contract work and the union seeks a clause banning outside agencies for work the university could perform with its own staff.</S>
