The Graduate Teaching Fellows Federation plans to picket outside of various buildings on campus during this upcoming week.

The GTFF met with University of Oregon administration last Thursday in their first mediation session, but have yet to agree about paid parental and sick leave as well as higher pay. 

The GTFF plans to strike after Thanksgiving if they cannot reach an agreement with the administration. The two groups are scheduled to attend mediation again this week before deciding to strike – at the soonest possible date of Nov. 27.

GTFF members and supporters will be picketing from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. every day this week at a different location on campus.

The locations are as follows:

Monday – PLC and Condon Hall

Tuesday – McKenzie and Villard Hall

Wednesday – Willamette Hall, Lewis Integrative Science Building and the Lokey Science Complex

Thursday – Frohnmayer and HEDCO building

Friday – Friendly and Columbia Hall

According to the GTFF, if there are less people picketing they may just stay at one building instead of covering both that are listed for that day.
