The last of the four unions at SIUC voted to strike yesterday, if a contract isn't negotiated by Nov. 3. Negotiating theory indicates that agreements are more likely to be reached with the pressure of a deadline in place, so we will see what happens. If there is a strike and the graduate student strikers don't get some financial support from the other three groups, my bet is they would be the first to come to terms with the university, simply because most graduate students don't have the financial underpinnings that members of the other three unions do.
