Graduate Workers Vote to Adjust Strike Schedule, Pending Negotiations

September 27, 2022 — In light of ongoing negotiations with the Bloomington Faculty Council and University Graduate School, the IGWC-UE Coordinating Committee recommended voting “no” on strike authorization, and “yes” to allow the Coordinating Committee to set a later strike date, should the IU Administration fail to offer the union suitable recognition and shared governance. General Membership agreed, in a vote that demonstrates graduate employees’ willingness to engage in good-faith negotiations with the administration, and urges the Administration to do the same.
