Members of the U of I's Non-Tenure Faculty Coalition are holding a two day 'work-in' outside the Henry Administration Building. The union went on a two-day strike last week as a means of pressuring administrators for a new contract.
About 500 University of Illinois faculty and reseachers will walk off the job Tuesday and Wednesday. NTFC Local #6546 is holding its strike to try and prompt U of I administrators to discuss how they plan to proceed in collective bargaining. Among the union's demands are multi-year contracts for non-tenured faculty.
