Faculty and staff at Governors State University will strike on Tuesday following an eight-hour bargaining session Thursday.
Members of the GSU University Professionals of Illinois declared the strike after receiving"another inadequate offer from the university.""After all that time bargaining, administration just walked away from the table," GSU UPI President Mike Hart said in a statement."There was no sense of urgency. The university wouldn't agree to bargain further to avert a strike, so we will be heading to the picket lines on Tuesday, April 11.
The union did manage to negotiate a tentative agreement on parental leave - convincing the university to agree to 25 days. Both sides have been negotiating since last June. Union members voted to authorize the strike last month. First published on April 7, 2023 / 8:12 AMCreate your free account or log inPlease enter valid email address to continue
