Thousands of workers and students at Rutgers University, represented by three different unions, went on strike this week, seeking higher pay and increased job security.
Three separate unions that represent more than 9,000 faculty and staff at Rutgers University went on strike Monday after contract negotiations between the school and the unions stalled.
“The administration doesn’t understand that we are determined to fight together for equal pay for equal work, a living wage for all, real job security, race and gender equity, and a fair salary increase,” the union said in a press release announcing the work stoppage. “We have no other choice than to go on strike to build a university that truly values its workers and its students.”
In a statement, the university said it had held over 100 bargaining sessions with the unions and that all negotiations had been conducted in good faith. New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy was personally involved in failed contract negotiations between Rutgers University and faculty unions that went on strike Monday for the first time in the school’s history.
