The University of Minnesota’s Teamsters Local 320, a worker’s union chapter based in Minneapolis, announced Thursday morning that the union has filed an intent to strike with the University as labor negotiations have stagnated. 

 The union, made up of over 1,400 University service workers across all five University campuses, voted to allow a strike on July 24, with 97% of voting members in favor. The union announced in a press release Thursday plans to strike beginning Aug. 20, unless the University agrees to restart negotiations.
