At Tufts University, a two-day strike led by full-time lecturers resulted in class cancellations as they protested against stalled negotiations for better pay and reduced workloads. With 94 percent of the lecturers voting in favor of the strike, they argue their current salary offers have not kept pace with the cost of living and competition from peer institutions. The university claims to be negotiating in good faith but has yet to present a satisfactory offer, further complicating the relations between the administration and the lecturers.
94 percent of the 121 full-time lecturers they represent at Tufts' School of Arts and Sciences voted for the strike following 10 months of stalled contract negotiations.
The university has offered full-time lecturers a 2.5 percent salary increase, but this offer has remained stagnant without a cost of living adjustment.
