Class Time Could Be Strike Time

SEIU Local 503

A union strike authorization has been delayed a week, but the academic year for Oregon public universities could be a great deal more hectic than usual.

Classified workers--custodians, cooks, clerks and more--for all seven state campuses could be on strike. 

Union members voted to strike if agreement is not reached.  A union rep joins us to talk about the issues dividing the universities and the workers.
