Rutgers University Faculty Strike Sparks Legal Concerns.

Rutgers University President Jonathan Holloway won’t rule out the possibility of legal action to block the ongoing strike from Rutgers University’s faculty unions. Negotiations between labor and Rutgers management remain underway, with both parties still negotiating at the governor’s office. The strike encompasses Rutgers’ New Brunswick, Newark and Camden campuses, impacting approximately 67,000 students. The strike involved three unions: the Rutgers AAUP-AFT, which represents full-time faculty, graduate workers, postdoctoral associates, and Educational Opportunity Fund counselors; the Rutgers PTLFC-AAUP-AFT, which represents part-time lecturers; and AAUP-BHSNJ, which represents workers at Rutgers’ health sciences schools.
