More details coming soon. NO STRIKE

We are still here. It’s almost midnight. 7am approaches. We hope to reach a deal, but we still need to see movement on our priorities. Our team is committed to bringing our members and students the best contracts possible. #solidarity #unionstrong #workingconditionsarelearningconditions

Earlier this evening, we announced a strike deadline. Management has until 7am Wednesday. Our members are TIRED OF THE DISRESPECT. After almost 15 months of bargaining, hundreds of hours at the table and testimony after testimony, management can’t say they don’t know what members and students need.

97% of faculty and staff at the Community College of Philadelphia have authorized a strike for fair pay, better staffing, and real investment in students. After more than a year of stalling, the administration must bargain in good faith.

How can any foreign student attend Columbia Univ. going forward, knowing that it will do absolutely nothing to prevent them from being arrested, disappeared, deported for exercising their rights to free speech? One of the greatest scandals in the history of higher ed. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/24/n...

Rain or shine, @CCPedu faculty, staff, and students demand 3 Fair Contracts! Who are we? CCP! What are we? The ❤️ heart of the city! What do we want? 3 Fair contracts! When do we want them? Now!

“You’re not listening Harold Epps! Today we’ll get our 10,000 steps!” Faculty, staff, and students are ready to strike if necessary. (Harold Epps is the board chair for Community College of Philadelphia)

Community College of Philadelphia is the ❤️ heart ❤️ of the Philly! And we— the workers and the students—are CCP! #strikedeadline #strikeready #CCP3faircontracts #Phillyisauniontown #solidarity #1u #pavethepath #Phillyscollege

The faculty union at Community College of Philadelphia has set a strike deadline for Wednesday morning.

Rob Dubow, Timothy J. Ford, Chekemma J. Fillmore-Townsend, Keola Harrington, Sheila Ireland, Carol Jenkins, Jonathan A. Mason Sr., Rosalyn McPherson, Mindy Posoff, Jeremiah J. White, Jr. 5/5

If faculty and staff are forced to strike it is the fault of management and CCP’s board of trustees. It did not have to be this way. The voting members of CCP’s board of trustees are: Harold T. Epps (Chair), Ajeenah Amir, Morgan Cephas, H. Patrick Clancy, Michael Cooper, 4/5

That’s not good faith bargaining. That’s not respect. For almost 15 months of bargaining and over 130 hours at the table we have tried to get their hired hands to move— to respond and discuss even— and on too many issues they have refused. 3/5

Taxpayer money and student tuition money is being used to undermine workers’ rights. CCP’s board of trustees need to instruct their lawyers to come to the table and negotiate. Their last move was an insulting 5 cents for 15 people (we wish we were exaggerating— we are not). 2/5

Instead of treating faculty and staff with respect— instead of working with us and addressing the real needs of CCP’s workers and students, Community College of Philadelphia chose to spend an estimated 1 million dollars on anti-union lawyers and lobbyists (or more). 🧵 1/5

Who are we? CCP! What are we? The ❤️ heart of Philly! What do we want? Three fair contracts! When do we want them? Now! Full staffing. Real raises. Increased investment in our students. #workingconditionsarelearningconditions #pavethepath #solidarity #strikeready #1u

First and foremost, shoutout to all of the students who came to our press conference and showed support today! So many more than shown below. It’s a shame we have to fight for the college you need and deserve, but it’s beautiful to fight with you. #Phillyscollege #solidarity #3faircontracts #1u

An injury to one is an injury to all. AFTPA Director of Organizing Syed Adnan speaks for all of us: If college administrators continue their anti-labor delay tactics & refuse to come to the table, they'll see us out on the picket lines with @fsfccp.bsky.social ✊🏽 #SolidarityForever

Community College of Phila management aren't just dodging workers - they won't meet with state & local electeds who are their main funders!! 🤯 Admin can't hide forever. CCP has the 💰, @fsfccp.bsky.social's demands are reasonable & just. If workers need to shut it down, we'll be at their side✊🏽

Again, the Secretary of State has no authority to “revoke” green cards.

Our strike authorization votes are in! With record high turnout across all three of our bargaining units, the final tally is 97% YES! FSFCCP members are united and ready to insist on full staffing, real raises, and increased investment in students—

Going on strike is the most selfless action any worker can take. @fsfccp.bsky.social's demands aren't just reasonable - they are NECESSARY to ensure the long-term health and vitality of CCP as an institution of learning. If the Board doesn't get it now, they're about to hear it loud & clear 🔊🔊🔊

We stand with @fsfccp.bsky.social as they fight for what students and faculty need to thrive at the Community College of Philadelphia. Learn more about what FSFCCP is fighting for, and how you can show your support, here: www.aft2026.org
