Classes were still being held at Rutgers as picket lines were set up at the school's campuses in New Brunswick/Piscataway, Newark and Camden.
New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy called for both sides to meet in his office at the Statehouse at noon Monday to try to resolve the impasse.
"Rutgers University is one of the nation's premier institutions of higher learning," Murphy said in statement posted on Twitter Sunday. "I am calling the University and union bargaining committees to meet in my office tomorrow to have a productive dialogue." Eyewitness News was at the New Brunswick campus shortly after 9 a.m. as a large group of striking union members walked a picket line, chanting "Get up, get down! New Brunswick is a union town!"Many classes will continue to meet during the strike. We want students to continue to attend classes and to complete their academic assignments. Please review Canvas or other learning management system or consult with your instructor for information related to your specific classes.
Union leaders said faculty members at the medical and other health sciences schools will continue performing essential research and patient care, but will curtail duties that don't impact patient health and safety.
