.: Coaches on Strike?
Harrisburg, PA , June 14th, 2005
About 360 state university coaches will vote on whether to strike, the union announced yesterday.
Non-faculty coaches in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education will vote from June 6-8, because contract negotiations have not gone as union leaders had wished.
If the coaches approve the work-stoppage, APSCUF's executive council could call a strike. That would likely shut down the Division II Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference and jeopardize the fall sports season, union officials said.
The coaches work at Pennsylvania's 14 state-owned universities -- Bloomsburg, California, Cheyney, Clarion, East Stroudsburg, Edinboro, Indiana, Kutztown, Lock Haven, Mansfield, Millersville, Shippensburg, Slippery Rock and West Chester universities. Pennsylvania's four state-related universities -- Penn State, Temple, Pittsburgh and Lincoln -- are not in the system.
