Chicago State University faculty members went on strike Monday. They were out of the classroom, walking the picket line after weekend negotiations failed to produce a labor agreement.
Roughly 170 union members are officially on strike. They said their workload is not equal to compensation, while administrators at the top are well-paid.
"We are all frustrated seriously," Goss said. "We are all disappointed and the fact that we have not been able to come to an agreement is not good for our students." "My next step is to get a PhD in chemistry. I got accepted to the University of Chicago, and I wouldn’t be able to do that if not for my faculty members," Nash said.
