Classes will resume Monday at Chicago State University after unionized faculty and staff suspended a 10-day strike, having reached a tentative four-year agreement with the school administration, union officials said Sunday.
About 160 members of CSU’s chapter of the University Professionals of Illinois (Local 4100) went on strike April 3 after almost a year of bargaining to secure a fair contract.
“Our members never wanted to strike, but being forced to do so has made us more unified and stronger than ever,” said CSU UPI President Valerie Goss. “I thank all of our amazing members, students, and supporters who stood up and spoke out with us every step of the way.”
