April 26 marks the start of the first public university strike in Oregon’s history. After 550 days of negotiation, the faculty, represented by American Association of University Professors, were forced to withhold their labor from an administration which refused to bargain in good faith. The faculty have demanded a modest raise, secure benefits, and a reasonable and clearly defined workload.
Faculty at Oregon Institute of Technology have been trying to negotiate for these benefits for over 3 years. After exhausting all other options through existing channels, they unionized through AAUP in 2018.
