The union said faculty at the South Side university are among the lowest paid in the state.
A Chicago State University strike is underway on the South Side after failed negotiations with UPI Local 4100.Faculty members at Chicago State University walked off the job and onto the picket lines on Monday as negotiations between union and school administration officials broke down Saturday over pay increases.
UPI Local 4100 members said they've been negotiating for nearly year. And, while progress has been made in other areas, they questioned the university's claims that it can't afford to meet the union's salary demands. And, while the campus appeared mostly desolate, in a statement released Sunday afternoon, a spokesperson for CSU said most student services and classes would go on.
The walkout may be a preview of things to come at both Governor's State and Eastern Illinois, where faculty negotiations are also ongoing. Union leaders hinted that walkouts may happen at both between this week and next.
