In a press release the university explained the faculty union is striking for a reason that is prohibited by law.
“The university did so because faculty workload is a prohibited subject of bargaining. The General Assembly disallows even the act of collective bargaining over faculty workload – much less the act of a public-sector strike over faculty workload. The AAUP-WSU cannot maintain a public-sector strike to force the university to negotiate a faculty workload agreement,” the press release stated.
The report also cited the executive committee instructing it’s members to send a consistent email response when the university requested an intent to strike as well as members instructed to remove lessons from Pilot.
