Portland State University faculty authorize strike - STEVEN DUBOIS, Associated Press

Portland State University faculty voted to authorize their union leaders to call a strike, the union said Thursday. The vote does not guarantee the first professorial strike in the history of the Oregon University System, but it was a required move for one to occur as early as April 3. Full-time faculty members cast their ballots Tuesday and Wednesday. The union said 94 percent voted to strike if an agreement on a new contract can't be reached. http://www.kansascity.com/2014/03/13/4886883/portland-state-university-faculty.html
