CHICAGO — Three universities across Illinois are bracing for a possible strike involving educators and staff. The University Professionals of Illinois Local 4100 faculty and staff unions at Eastern Illinois University, Governor's State University and Chicago State University have announced their intent to strike after what they called ‘minimal progress' at the bargaining table. Teachers and staff at Eastern Illinois University plan to walk out on April 6 if a deal if both sides can't come to terms over pay.
