YSU union files unfair labor practice charge

YOUNGSTOWN — The union representing the faculty at Youngstown State University has filed an unfair labor practice charge against the university.

It also says that the university released a fact-finder’s report to the public contrary to negotiation ground rules.

The university trustees University Affairs Committee has scheduled a meeting for 5 p.m. today in the president’s conference room in Tod Hall.
