The University of Oregon’s faculty union has reached a tentative agreement on a contract, and a strike has been averted for now.
The announcement came Sunday, after days of last-minute bargaining between the university and its faculty.
United Academics of UO had declared its intent to strike as early as Monday unless a deal was reached. They’re seeking a contract with higher wages.
This week, the union’s membership will have to vote on whether to ratify the agreement. If they reject it, a strike could be back on the table.
Mike Urbancic, President of United Academics of UO, told KLCC Sunday he believes it’s very likely the ratification will be approved.
