Rutgers University Faculty Launch Historic Strike Over Contract Negotiations.
TL;DR
Three unions representing 9,000 faculty members at Rutgers University went on strike for the first time in the school's 257-year history, halting classes and research. The strike comes after nearly a year of unsuccessful bargaining between union representatives and university officials. The unions said the two sides remained far apart on several issues, including a pay increase and the rights of untenured adjunct faculty members and graduate workers. The university and the unions are meeting in Trenton, the state capital, where Gov. Phil Murphy has invited them to negotiate.
