WV Teachers Wildcat Strike: No End in Sight *
Updated On: Mar 07, 2018
Mar. 5, 2018 | STRIKES | In a bright spot among an otherwise bleak landscape for labor, over 15,000 teachers and school support employees in all 55 West Virginia counties have been out on strike for seven days, as they and supporters from around the state continue to flood the capitol in Charleston, W.V., demanding higher pay and affordable healthcare. Bucking a deal struck between the West Virginia Education Association (WVEA) and the state government, school workers have defied both union leadership and state law, which affords them no right to strike and does not recognize their right to collectively bargain. These restrictions haven’t stopped West Virginia educators from leading what may be one of the most important labor actions in years… Working In These Times * UPDATE: West Virginia raises teachers' pay to end statewide strike New York Times
