NORMAL, Ill. In October 2018, Illinois State University’s more than 400 graduate workers voted to officially unionize and be represented as SEIU Local 73. The long months of meetings, difficult one-on-one conversations, procedural documents, and learning the process of organizing a workplace paid off for the graduate workers involved.

Illinois State University’s Graduate Workers Union has asked for a state labor mediator to step in to what it calls stalled negotiations on a contract.
Negotiations began in October 2019. The union said ISU took more than 14 months to respond to its initial offer. Now, the union has requested mediation from the Illinois Labor Relations Board.
“If ISU has something to offer us that actually addresses the severe crises TAs face that ISU creates with low stipends, poor benefits, and high fees we are ready and willing to hear it. But until that time, we have nothing for ISU except the notice that we request that the Labor Board impose mediation at this time,” the union said in a press release.
