Overview
- HACC and the Harrisburg Area Community College Education Association announced a tentative agreement early Monday, calling off a planned strike.
- Contract terms were not disclosed, and union leaders said the agreement reflects compromise that prioritizes stability and sustainability for students.
- HACC characterized the agreement as fair and fiscally responsible, saying it aligns with the college’s core principles.
- HACCEA will hold informational meetings before a member vote to ratify what would be the union’s first contract since forming in 2022.
