EMU faculty strike halts classes amid contract talks
More than 650 full time faculty at Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti walked out after talks broke off. The walkout marks the first faculty strike since 1978, while 40 percent of lecturers not covered by the contract were set to teach as classes continued. The contract expired Friday and was extended to Monday midnight with a three year deal offering a 5 percent annual salary boost.
