COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — A Franklin County judge on Wednesday granted a request for a preliminary injunction in a lawsuit against the State Teachers Retirement System (STRS) Board.
Judge Carl A. Aveni granted the request by the Ohio Education Association, the Ohio Federation of Teachers, and the Ohio Conference of the American Association of University Professors — which sued over changes to the makeup of the board.
“This determination confirms what retired and active members of STRS have known since June: this is an unconstitutional power grab by the legislature,” a joint statement from all three organizations reads. “Educators, just like all other public employees in Ohio, deserve a meaningful voice in our pension plan.”
