Following unproductive contract negotiations, faculty and staff of Community College Philadelphia voted to authorize a strike against their employer. 91 percent of union members voted to authorize the strike. The union is not planning to strike yet, but can do so if its demands are not met. The key issues in this dispute involve improving accessibility of support services for students, hiring more diverse staff, providing employees with a greater voice, and increasing wages appropriately.
