So according to this: It's illegal for teachers to strike there. Also, they talked about doing rolling stikes where only a portion would strike each day but decided against that.

On a real note this is great, and anyone that has a problem with this is a piece of shit.

Why? unless i'm reading it wrong that seems like a bad idea...the schools would just accept that they'd only have to pay them for the time they work, shovel all the students into fewer classrooms and let them strike...the only people hurt in that situation are the students and the teachers. No teachers means the school is completely shut down. more pressure on the schools from parents. no students in class is a bad thing. --- Dallas Cowboys: 1 - 1 ... Copied to Clipboard!

Wait... so they're striking for a permanent, flat 5% yearly pay increase?
They can fuck right off. I personally think teachers in general are underpaid, but a fixed 5% is asking for too much and completely undermines their case against people who want to see teachers pay tied to performance. For comparison, the average national pay raise is around 3% https://www.investopedia.com/articles/personal-finance/090415/salary-secrets-what-considered-big-raise.asp --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

They were already promised it but then the state senate only gave them 4% from what this article says https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/05/us/west-virginia-teachers-strike/index.html So they already thought they were getting the 5% then they tried to pull a fast one on them.

Useful overview of the teachers' side
https://jacobinmag.com/2018/03/west-virginia-teachers-strike-medicare-for-all The agreed-upon 5 percent raise for teachers and 3 percent for all public employees was supposed to mark the end of the statewide teachers strike. The state had already seen four days of school closures in all fifty-five counties, the result of a work stoppage involving twenty thousand teachers. --- kin to all that throbs ...

So apparently they struck a deal to get the full 5% but it sounds like they're not getting any healthcare changes. Also they state is cutting resources elsewhere to pay for it so the change is budget-neutral but I can't find what was cut.
