MOUNT PLEASANT (AP) -- Students at Central Michigan University are being asked to head to class Monday despite a vote by CMU's Faculty Association to hold a work action.

The Faculty Union voted Sunday night to begin picketing Monday.  The Union said they would picket indefinitely until the contract demands are met or until a Fact Finder steps in and helps mediate the negotiations.

The school sent a news release Sunday saying it would seek a court injunction to get the faculty members back to work. Students were asked to report for classes, along with CMU's 439 fixed-term faculty and 591 graduate assistants.

The faculty union met Sunday to discuss the job action, which the school calls illegal. Faculty members had authorized their union leaders to call a job action that could include a strike over the failure to reach a labor contract. The professors have been without a contract since June 30.
