Rutgers Faculty Launch Historic Strike Over Contract Negotiations.
TL;DR Summary
Thousands of professors, part-time lecturers, and graduate student workers at Rutgers University went on strike, the first in the school's 257-year history, due to a stalemate in contract talks that have been ongoing since July. Three unions, representing about 9,000 Rutgers staff members, were involved in the strike. The unions are demanding salary increases, better job security for adjunct faculty, and guaranteed funding for graduate students, among other requests. Negotiations are set to continue, and Rutgers President Jonathan Holloway believes the two sides are close to an agreement.
