The administration has finally reached an agreement with the union that secures the fair contracts our staff deserves. Your commitment to this cause proved instrumental in holding leadership accountable throughout these negotiations. Please remain attentive as the implementation process begins to ensure every term is honored in full.

2700 workers at the University of Illinois at Chicago have been denied a contract for over a year. These support staff and Medical Center employees - UIC's lowest paid employees - are members of the Service Employees International Union Local 73 & they have decided to strike. Management has refused to address the top priority of the workers - job security. Management says union workers are greedy for requesting modest raises. The University pleads poverty while giving a $170,000 raise to their new president.
UIC - settle the contracts!
Don't balance the budget on the backs of those least able to afford it.

GIVE THEM A CONTRACT. People work hard to keep that place running and management just treats them like numbers. ENOUGH.
Cant believe this has been going on for a year. These folks are the backbone of the campus and deserve way better treatment.
Ridiculous that they can afford these huge executive raises but wont pay the people actually running the hospital. Pay them what they are owed!
My sister works at uic and she is tired of the excuses. The admin is just being greedy and acting like they have no money when they clearly do.
Support our workers! They deserve a fair contract.
