Eugene

Classified staff at Oregon's seven public universities are set to walk off the job Monday in a labor action. The strike affects support workers across the state's university system, including campuses in Eugene, Corvallis and Portland, and could disrupt campus operations such as administration, facilities and student services while negotiations continue.

A strike at the University of Oregon looks imminent after the union representing workers said the university failed to put forward an acceptable contract offer. The union announced that bargaining has not produced a deal, setting the stage for a walkout that could disrupt classes and campus operations in Eugene. Details of the outstanding issues were not immediately available.
