Lockout lifted, LIU Brooklyn professors are back on the job
Administration Lets Unionized Instructors Return to Classrooms After Contract Extension Agreement Is Reached
After locking them out for 12 days, Long Island University-Brooklyn administrators are letting their teachers teach.
Professors at the Downtown Brooklyn campus returned to their classrooms Thursday after their union and school brass reached an agreement to extend a recently expired contract to May 31, 2017, to allow additional time to negotiate a new pact.
Over Labor Day weekend some 400 members of the Long Island University Faculty Federation (LIUFF), the union that represents the professors, were locked out of their classes and had their pay and health care insurance terminated.
