Strikes are looming at two other state universities — Eastern Illinois University and Governors State University — as employee unions say they feel like they have exhausted other steps after a long time at the bargaining table.
CSU, EIU and GSU all serve special student populations — the latter is a Minority Serving Institution and an emerging Hispanic Serving Institution.
“At campuses across Illinois, faculty and staff are telling university administrators that they need to get their priorities straight,” said Miller, president of UPI, the local union for the CSU, EIU and GSU chapters. “The presidents of these universities have the resources to provide what students, faculty and staff need, but are investing in other priorities. Our members are standing up for our students.
Union members at EIU are scheduled to have an all-day bargaining session Monday and another session April 7, which will steer their union’s next steps. After union members overwhelmingly voted on March 10 to authorize a strike, the unit filed its 10-day notice with the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Board.Union officials at GSU said students there have an increased need for advising assistance, yet school advisors are overloaded, some with as many as 500 students.
