The rally will start at noon Thursday outside Morrill Hall on the East Bank of the university\'s Minneapolis campus.
"Join union members, students, faculty, and other community members in demanding the university\'s administration make a fair offer to clerical, health care, and technical employees before the September 4 strike deadline!" the committee said in announcing the rally.
Four AFSCME locals representing 3,500 campus workers in Minneapolis, St. Paul, Crookston and Duluth filed an intent to strike notice Friday. A walkout could begin Tuesday, Sept. 4, the first day of classes.
Union members said the university\'s wage offer does not keep pace with inflation and is unfair given the growing gap between salaries for clerical, technical and health care workers and top university administrators.
