Association of Catholic School Teachers authorizes strike

    The Association of Catholic School Teachers Local 1776 has authorized a strike that would affect high schools in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. The union voted on the matter Wednesday after nearly two months on contract negotiations with the diocese.

    The current contract expires Aug. 31, and Local 1776 could strike if a deal on benefits and other matters [PDF] cannot be reached.
