Bargaining teams representing the university&#8217;s administration and the student workers&#8217; union, the Graduate Employees Organization, settled on a tentative pact this morning after the university removed a final sticking point by agreeing to the union&#8217;s demand that the university guarantee tuition waivers for teaching and graduate assistants who are not Illinois residents. The union&#8217;s strike committee has agreed to stop picketing and will vote tonight on whether to suspend the strike entirely. If the strike is ended and the union&#8217;s membership informally approves the contract this evening, the union will hold a formal contract-ratification vote later this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Chronicle: U. of Illinois and Striking TA&#8217;s Reach Tentative Agreement The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign reached a tentative agreement today with a union representing graduate students who work there as teaching assistants or researchers, potentially clearing the way &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/workplace\/2009\/11\/u-of-illinois-and-striking-tas-reach-tentative-agreement\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2272],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7622","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-strikes-labor-disputes"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/workplace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7622","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/workplace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/workplace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/workplace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/17"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/workplace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7622"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/workplace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7622\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7623,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/workplace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7622\/revisions\/7623"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/workplace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7622"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/workplace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7622"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/workplace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7622"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
