flag Over 100 LCCC workers may strike Nov. 5 over contract dispute amid budget shortfall, as college expands free trade training program.

flag Over 100 LCCC employees may strike starting November 5 if a new contract isn’t reached by November 4, as negotiations remain deadlocked since the contract expired August 31. flag The college cites a $13 million budget shortfall due to a state funding impasse and rising costs. flag Meanwhile, LCCC is expanding its free Career & Technology Academy, launched in Spring 2025, which allows high school students to earn college credits in skilled trades like welding and HVAC through a $1 million state grant and scholarships. flag The program aims to address Pennsylvania’s projected shortage of 300,000 trade workers by 2030 and offers students direct access to high-paying jobs without a four-year degree.
