HACC, Faculty Union Reach Tentative Deal, Averting Planned Strike

The deal faces a membership vote after last-minute talks averted an indefinite walkout.

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.
  • Talks focused on pay raises and retroactive pay after more than three years without raises, following a two-day strike earlier this month and a threatened indefinite walkout.
