IVCC Trustees planning to meet about faculty contract

Hopefully there will be progress in contract negotiations at Illinois Valley Community College.

The IVCC Board of Trustees are having a special meeting Wednesday night at 7:30 to discuss a collective bargaining contract with faculty members. Union faculty members at IVCC held an informational picket on campus during the first day of classes, upset that they’re now working on an expired contract.

Both sides have been working towards breaking a mediator in to help strike a deal.
