Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Faculty at 14 state universities taking strike votes
The idea of state university faculty authorizing their union to call a strike is not unusual in Pennsylvania, but the timing of a vote that starts today across the 14 school campuses is.
Contracts covering 5,500 faculty and 300 coaches employed by the State System of Higher Education do not expire until June 30. But the union’s leadership has adopted what some members are calling a “no contract, no work” strategy and want a vote in place that could allow a walkout as early as July 1.
