BOWLING GREEN, Ohio - The Bowling Green State University Faculty Association Thursday morning announced it has filed a petition with the State Employee Relations Board calling for an election on collective bargaining.
BGSU-FA President Dr. David Jackson said more than 57 percent of the 800-plus faculty members have signed a card asking for the election.
Members and supporters gathered around the BGSU seal in the center of campus about 9:30 a.m. and three officers proceeded to President Carol Cartwright’s office in nearby McFall Center to deliver the notice.
Two staff members accepted the petitions and said they would deliver them to Cartwright. The BGSU president was reported to be on a conference call at the time of the visit.
