UIC faculty approve contract with university after four-day strike
CHICAGO (CBS) -- The faculty at the University of Illinois Chicago has voted on and approved a new four-year contract with the university.
The agreement comes after a four-day strike last month.
Some 1,500 union members walked out after nine months of negotiations.
They settled on $60,000 being the minimum salary of the lowest-paid faculty.
The contract is retroactive to August, and runs through 2026.
