University of Illinois faculty members strike in Chicago
2014.02.19美國伊利諾大學芝加哥分校教師罷工
摘錄: 2014.02.19經過為期16個月、60 次協商會議、95% 教師投票贊成後，美國伊利諾大學芝加哥分校1100位教師進行有史以來第一次大罷工。這次罷工為期兩天，共有27500位學生的課程取消。
這次罷工的兩點訴求: 1. 抗議學校聘用大量兼課教師以節省開銷，造成學生的學費增加卻沒有受到好的教育品質。2⋯⋯. 學校增設許多行政單位，花費大量經費，但沒有提升教學品質，使得許多低階教師離職。
On Tuesday, 1,100 faculty members at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) went on strike for the first time in the school’s history. After 60 bargaining sessions over 16 months failed to reach an initial contract agreement, the faculty union called a two-day strike. Classes were canceled for 27,500 students at the largest university in the Chicago area. …The effect is to have less full time faculty positions in favor of temporary adjuncts,…Another issue in the strike is faculty involvement in university governance. In recent years, the multiplication of highly paid administrative positions—accountable to the various offices, but unaccountable to faculty and students—has created resentment among the low-paid faculty.
