Classes for up to 105,000 college students were set for disruption Wednesday after Pennsylvania's first faculty strike began in the early hours.
The faculty union called the strike after the most recent round of negotiations over pay and healthcare broke down after five days.
The union, the Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties, represents 5,500 faculty members across 14 state universities. Strikers headed to the picket lines at 5 a.m. ET.
"At 11:35 p.m. we made a last attempt to negotiate through back channels," APSCUF President Dr. Kenneth M. Mash said in a statement. "We are headed to the picket lines, but even on the picket lines, our phones will be on, should the State System decide it doesn't want to abandon its students."
