W Virginia Teachers on Strike Over Pay!

[Truman62]

I guess WV Teachers aren't gonna take it anymore...

Too much work and not enough pay.

West Virginia teachers will continue their strike into next week, the latest response to what's quickly
becoming a deepening rift with the governor and Legislature over pay and health benefits.

Thousands of teachers and school service workers in all 55 counties will remain off the job Monday,
union leaders announced at a news conference Friday afternoon.

"It is clear that education employees are not satisfied with the inaction of legislative leadership or the
governor to date," according to a joint statement from the West Virginia Education Association, the
American Federation of Teachers' West Virginia chapter, and the West Virginia School Service Personnel
Association. "Our members have spoken and the Legislature has not."
