The Rider News: Teachers threaten to strike
Hundreds of members of the Rider faculty union voted Tuesday to authorize a strike, if necessary, to pressure the administration to settle on a new contract.
A strike would not occur before Oct. 1, and may not occur at all, union officers said.
A press release issued by the Rider chapter of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) Tuesday afternoon said that the union authorized its negotiators and executive committee “to take whatever action they deem necessary, up to and including a strike, to achieve a fair and equitable contract.”
