Schools also got an extra $50 mil in general which was 20% of what they asked for. In the end they got over half of what they wanted up front.
IMHO they are taking too harsh of stance. They have to acknowledge what they got and plan another walkout for next year. They have lost my support. This looks a little fishy and more like revenge.
Money will not fix overcrowding. The teachers are striking because their pension is affected, not because of over-crowding.
State workers in Va have to kick in 5% towards the pension, depending on the plan. I don’t know about OK.

Agreed. There is more going on here than just a strike for more money. Likely some sort of weird union/leftist agenda...
