Portland Community College Workers Secure Victory After Wall-to-Wall Strike, President Resigns

Workers at Portland Community College, represented by two unions (PCC Federation of Faculty and Academic Professionals and PCC Federation of Classified Employees), achieved a 'resounding victory' after a three-week wall-to-wall strike in March. The agreement secured wage increases and protection against cuts to course offerings, thwarting the administration's attempts to impose budget cuts. Six weeks after the tentative agreement, PCC President Dr. Adrien Bennings resigned.
