YSU, classfied employees union headed to fact finding

YOUNGSTOWN — Negotiations between Youngstown State University and its 400-member Association of Classified Employees union are headed for fact finding.

The two sides have been unable to reach an agreement in talks that began several months ago.

The current pact doesn’t end until mid-August.

Terms of negotiations provided that, if no settlement was reached by May 15, either side could petition the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service for the appointment of a fact finder who would hear presentations on the issues and come up with a recommendation for settlement.

Both ACE and the university signed the request for fact finding.
