Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.A union representing 2,500 administrative staff at Rutgers University says it’ll institute a strike pledge — a way of gauging interest in a strike — even as three other unions representing 9,000 faculty say they’re making progress in negotiations that could end their own historic walkout.
“We expect a late night tonight,” Rebecca Givan, president of the Rutgers AAUP-AFT Academic Worker Union, said from Trenton in a Zoom call with striking faculty just after 8 p.m. on Tuesday. “We don’t think we’ll have a contract tonight but we’ll be back in the morning, and we feel good.”,” where the governor described New Jersey as one of the “quintessential American organized labor states.”
On Tuesday night, Murphy said he wanted a solution "that exudes, that reeks fairness to all of the categories that we’re talking about." As of late Tuesday evening, Holloway hadn’t issued a new statement to the Rutgers community or press.
