YOUNGSTOWN — A union at Youngstown State University has filed a labor grievance over the firing of its president.

The university fired Ivan Maldonado, 41, of Boardman, July 6, charging him with misfeasance (performing a lawful act in an illegal manner), malfeasance (wrongdoing or misconduct by a public official) and nonfeasance (failure to act) in the performance of his duties as an employee of the payroll office, as well as citing allegations of threats against other university employees.

The Association of Classified Employees union actually filed three grievances related to the case this week, said Helen Trapp, labor relations consultant for the 400-member union.
