EMU

Following a five-day strike, the university and the union reached a new deal.

Details won’t be released until the membership begins voting on the contract in the coming days. What is known is that it’s a four-year deal with raises taking place in years one through three.

Before hitting the picket line, the faculty union had been working without a contract since August 31 when its old contract expired. The two sides remain at odds over pay and health care benefits.

The EMU faculty union said 91% of its members voted Tuesday night to go on strike. A university spokesman accuses the faculty union of voting to “walk out” on EMU students one week into the fall semester.

More than 500 tenured and tenure-track faculty at EMU have been working without a contract since August 31.
