Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
Wright State University’s faculty union has begun scheduling picketers for a possible strike that could start at 8 a.m. Tuesday.
In an email sent today to members of the Wright State chapter of the American Association of University Professors, union president Martin Kich asked faculty to sign up for a picketing time. Union members plan to picket near the entrances to campus, Noeleen McIlvenna, a WSU history professor and contract administration officer for the union has said.
The AAUP-WSU is asking members to sign up for three different picket shifts, according to a form included in the email. Strikers have been asked not to use Wright State email accounts or phones to communicate during the strike.
The union has also established a headquarters near Wright State’s Colonel Glenn Highway entrances for the strike. The AAUP-WSU will use the Wingate by Wyndham hotel at 3055 Presidential Drive as its offices, Kich said in the email.
“We must stick together and hold the line,” Kich wrote in the email. “We must be strong and unified for our students and our community, because what we do now will become the WSU legacy for generations to come.”
