PORTLAND Ore. (KPTV) - Both unions representing Portland Community College employees voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike for the first time in the college’s history.

The Federation of Faculty and Academic Professionals (PCCFFAP) says their members, along with workers with the Federation of Classified Employees (PCCFCE), voted on Monday to authorize the strike after negotiations over wages and benefits stalled.

94% of the PCCFFAP and PCCFCE members who casted ballots voted in favor of the strike.

The PCCFFAP represents over 1,600 full and part-time faculty at PCC, while the PCCFCE represents nearly 700 classified workers.
