CSU has also gone on strike, with NEIU making noises that they may also go that direction. I’ve seen some complaints from a few of our professors on social media, but don’t know if it will get to that point for us or not.

Students face uncertainty, join faculty on strike at Eastern Illinois University.

Forgot to mention that Governors State is also on strike. So, currently it's GSU, Chicago State, and Eastern Illinois, with Northeastern Illinois still possibly heading that direction.

Classes have resumed at Eastern Illinois University as faculty have paused a strike.

In a news release, the faculty union announced its decision to pause while officially considering the administration's offer, which school officials said was their best and final offer.

Union officials said all members will vote on the agreement sometime next week, but no date has been set.
 

Governors State, Chicago State and EIU faculty have all ended their strikes.

This explains some of it: https://www.tspr.org/tspr-local/2023-07 ... -agreement
I've heard a flat amount increase this year ($3600, I think), then 3% increase the two years after that, which is about midpoint between what the administration proposed and what the union asked for.
