We are unaware of any faculty unions in Ohio that are unaffiliated with any state or national organization. While there are faculty unions around the country that are completely unaffiliated with any state or national organization, affiliation is the rule rather than the exception. It is, however, worth noting that the Kent Education Association (KEA) – the union that represents K-12 teachers in the city of Kent – has been independent of state and national affiliations since 1981.
