Pennsylvania Professors’ Strike Ends

  -  

A strike that threatened to stall the education of students at 14 Pennsylvania campuses has been settled. The union representing more than 5,000 professors and Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties (APSCUF) came to an agreement with the State System of Higher Education three days after the strike began. While the faculty did have to accept some concessions to salary and benefits, including an increase in what they pay for health care, the state negotiators dropped most of the 200 concessions originally proposed.

“Our primary goals were to preserve quality education for our students, protect our adjuncts from exploitation, and make sure the varieties of faculty work are respected,” says APSCUF President Kenneth M. Mash. “We achieved every single one of those goals, and the faculty were willing to take less than every other bargaining unit in order to preserve those goals.”
