University Faculty Union Delays Potential Strike



The union representing faculty at Pennsylvania's 14 state-owned universities says it won't consider striking until next semester.
 
The Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties announced the decision Tuesday in a letter to the system’s 120,000 students.
 
Union members gave their leadership the authority to call a strike earlier this month after frustration with the lack of progress in contract negotiations.
 
Bargaining has stalled over issues including pay for part-time instructors, health care benefits and compensation for online education.

Officials at the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education say they remain committed to a fair settlement.
