Teachers and staff at the Pennsylvania School for the
Deaf on Thursday voted overwhelmingly to unionize.
The American Federation of Teachers, Pennsylvania said
the new union will represent approximately 175 teachers, aides, secretaries,
and support staff.
The 195-year-old Pennsylvania School for the Deaf is a
private school in Germantown that receives state funding. Employees said they
decided to try to form a union late last year because relations between
administrators and the faculty had deteriorated.
The election was conducted by the National Labor
Relations Board.
