University of Minnesota members of Teamsters Local 320, a Minneapolis-based worker union, announced Wednesday that there are plans to begin voting to authorize a potential strike.
The Teamsters, which represent over 1,500 union workers across the University’s five campuses, have been in contract renegotiations with the University since March.
