CHICAGO (CBS) -- The union representing faculty and support staff at Chicago State University is taking a strike vote.

It comes after 20 bargaining sessions with the university.

Negotiations started in June of last year - even including sessions with a federal mediator. The main sticking points are pay and workload.

Union members can vote on a strike authorization through on Friday.

It's not clear when the faculty could walk out.
