The agreement at Temple University ends a six-week-long walkout of teaching and research assistants that drew headlines when the public university withheld some benefits for striking workers.
on Monday, days after reaching a tentative agreement with the university and weeks after members rejected a previous proposal. The union, an affiliate of the American Federation of Teachers, represents about 750 graduate teaching and research assistants.
In a statement, Temple President Jason Wingard said he was pleased the university and union reached an agreement that reflects the union’s priorities and Temple’s respect for its graduate students. The situation came to a head last month when the university halted health care and tuition assistance for striking graduate students. Temple had warned that walking off the job would put graduate students’ tuition coverage and compensation at risk.
