Rutgers University and union representatives have announced an agreement on a framework for new contracts with several faculty unions.
Rutgers University and union representatives have announced an agreement on a framework for new contracts with several faculty unions, allowing a halt to a five-day strike that was the first such job action in the 257-year history of New Jersey’s flagship university.Rutgers said early Saturday the agreement on the framework on economic issues was reached late Friday night with the aid of Gov.
"Nothing we do is as important as living up to the expectations that our students and their families have of us to be fully supportive of them and nurturing of their academic ambitions and dreams," the school said in a statement.Most students are in support of the strike but others are calling it chaos. Fox 5 NY's Kendall Green reports.
The unions representing professors, part-time lecturers and graduate student workers told members they had agreed to suspend the strike and return to work, but more issues need to be resolved before members would have a tentative agreement to vote on. "Our historic strike got us to this point. And let us be clear, a suspension of our strike is not a cancelation. If we do not secure the gains we need on the open issues through bargaining in the coming days, we can and will resume our work stoppage," they said, also vowing informational pickets as classes resume next week.
