Strike Ends at U. of Minnesota as Clerical and Technical Workers Reach Deal
An agreement appears to have been reached between the University of Minnesota and the union representing its clerical, technical, and health-care workers, who have been on strike since early this month.
The university’s president, Robert Bruininks, said in a short statement on the institution’s Web site that the strike was over and workers would be back on the job as early as tomorrow.
The workers, represented by the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees, will vote on Minnesota’s settlement offer in the coming weeks, the university said in an online update about the strike. The union represents about 3,000 workers, about one-third of whom walked the picket line over pay.
