""Right now, PCC still expects spring term to begin as scheduled. However, the timing of a resolution is critical and the timeline for finalizing grades and resolving outstanding coursework for winter term has been significantly shortened.""
""There is a real outpouring of support from students. It really means a lot.""
The faculty and staff strike at Portland Community College has entered its second week, halting classes and delaying final grades. Union leaders claim proposed wage increases do not meet inflation rates, while college administrators argue financial constraints prevent higher pay. Most of the 2,300 employees represented by the unions are on strike, leading to campus closures and a shift to online operations. Students express concerns online but also show support for the unions, highlighting the impact of the negotiations on their academic progress.
