SIU trustees weigh 37.5 hour work week plan
SIU trustees fear public criticism over reducing to a 37.5 hour work week for civil service and student workers. The plan would affect about 1,600 at SIUC and about half that at Edwardsville, with costs estimated at 200,000 to 250,000 dollars at SIUC and about 50,000 at Edwardsville. The board will vote on the proposal next month after gathering cost details.
