Professors and employees of the UASD University continued their strike yesterday, and although Hoy reports that they returned to work today, the unions are still considering an indefinite stoppage of all related activities if the administration doesn't consider their request and provide a reply by Monday. Strikers are urging the administration to rescind their health insurance contract with ARS Humano, which they say the University agreed to without holding a public bidding process. Dean Roberto Reyna explained that there is no way of rescinding the contract because it was signed in a legal manner, and that although there was no public bidding it was agreed with the consensus of the University Council. Unions will meet again on Monday, the deadline given to the University authorities to find a solution.
