"The Old Main" on the campus of Eastern Illinois University in Charleston on May 5, 2021. A tentative agreement was reached between the university and union-represented faculty and staff Thursday evening, ending a 6-day strike.
According to the Illinois Federation of Teachers, the EIU UPI bargaining team could not endorse the administration’s package at the membership meeting Thursday because the administration didn’t offer union members a chance to do work that was missed during the strike, which is a common part of end-of-strike agreements.EIU UPI members said they still decided to move toward ratification in hopes of a timely resolution.
