A union representing 1,100 faculty members at the University of Illinois at Chicago began a two-day strike Tuesday. The work stoppage is forcing the cancellation of hundreds of classes.

The strike could also have a national impact — as many universities try to retool themselves in a time of tight budgets. WBEZ’s Chip Mitchell reports. (Photo: Flickr/eszter)
