Cheryl B. Schrader

Last updated

On January 22, 2019, following almost two years of failed contract negotiations and an unexpected imposition of employment conditions by the administration, the Wright State chapter of the American Association of University Professors began a strike that would ultimately become the second-longest public university strike in U.S. history. [60] The strike received national attention. [55] [61] [62]

On February 10, day 20 of the strike, after a long weekend of negotiating, the faculty union and the administration negotiators reached a tentative agreement to end the strike. [63] The faculty returned to work on Monday February 11. [64] "Both parties made substantial concessions to help move the university forward together," Schrader said. [63] The faculty union admitted it made some "serious financial concessions," such as agreeing to no pay raises until 2021, but kept protections on job security, workload, merit pay, and perhaps most significantly, the right to bargain over health care. [63] On the whole, the faculty union hailed the agreement [65] and considered the strike a success. [66]

Personal life

Schrader is married to practicing attorney Jeff Schrader, who served as chief legal counsel for the Idaho State Board of Education. They have two children. [4]

Notes
