Irony = Union Employees Strike... Against Union

OEA workers strike... against OEA

The front-line workers at the state's teachers union who help teachers bargain for contracts and hold school districts to contract terms are out on a strike of their own.

About 40 percent of the employees of the Oregon Education Association went on strike Monday.

OEA managers want those workers, members of the Oregon Professional Staff Organization, to pay more of their health care costs, get less retirement pay, earn less comp time and serve larger workloads of OEA members, said Catherine Alexander, president of the professional staff union.
