Faculty, administration to resume bargaining Tuesday morning
PDF Faculty members will continue to strike Tuesday, according to a Faculty Association press release.
The press release posted on a union blog stated the administration presented the FA with a revised proposal around 5 p.m. and said they will resume negotiations Tuesday morning.
Dave Johsnon, spokesman for the FA, said the union will work through the night to prepare for the early morning negotiations.
“While we will seriously consider the board team’s revised offer, we are extremely disappointed that they have broken off negotiations this evening,” he said. “Their premature departure ensures that the strike by faculty on the SIUC campus will continue at least one more day.”
Rod Sievers, university spokesman, said the package was delivered to the union and said they could look it over and call the administration team back when they were ready to talk.
“Generally in the past that has taken about six hours so it may well be tomorrow but if the FA has enough time to look it over tonight (Monday) and call the administration team back to the table they are ready to go,” he said.
