PA's Professors Still Negotiating

01.25.13 | Sarah Harnisch

There's no labor deal yet for college professors across Pennsylvania. The board chairman of Pennsylvania's 14 state-owned universities and a union leader speaking for 6,000 faculty members on Thursday each accused the other side of being unreasonable in their stalled contract negotiations Thursdays. Hundreds of protesting educators, including many who rode buses from distant campuses, waved placards and chanted "Contract Now!" outside the State System of Higher Education headquarters while the system's board of governors held its quarterly meeting. It's been over 18 months-- and no deal yet.
