Bellingham Technical College board approves contracts reached during strike

Bellingham Technical College finalized contract agreements late Monday, Sept. 30, with two unions that represent the college's faculty and classified, clerical, technical, instructional and retail support staff.

The Board of Trustees approved a three-year agreement with faculty union Bellingham Education Association, and a four-year agreement with Bellingham Education Support Team after a weeklong strike delayed the start of classes.
