Syllabus

Per Mayle, J., although framed as contract claims, plaintiff's complaint alleges conduct that, if proven, constitutes an unfair labor practice specifically enumerated in R.C. 4117.11. State Employee Relations Board (\SERB\) has exclusive jurisdiction over her claims. Plaintiff has not been deprived of a forum in which to bring her claims. R.C. Chapter 4117 vests SERB with jurisdiction in the first instance and redress may be sought in the courts depending on SERB's disposition of her claims.
