teachers strike

Youngstown teachers and local labor leaders are holding a rally Thursday seeking charges against a school district administrator who allegedly hit a striking teacher with his car last week.

The district and union have been at odds over language in the contract and wages, although the union has argued it's the contract language that is the true sticking point.

The union and the district are at odds over pay and other details in the contract. The district has pushed back the start of the school year to Friday, which will be entirely virtual.

A strike is on for Wednesday on what would have been the first day of classes. No further negotiations took place Tuesday between Youngstown City School District's teachers union and the school administration.

The Youngstown Education Association voted Monday afternoon to strike starting on Wednesday, the first day of classes for the new school year.

The teachers union in Youngstown City School District have issued a 10-day strike notice. At Southeast Local Schools in Ravenna, the union says it's prepared to issue a strike notice if talks don't go well.

The Akron’s teachers’ union and the Akron Board of Education have officially approved a three-year contract for teachers after months of negotiations and turmoil at the school district.

Negotiating teams for both sides met all day Saturday and much of Sunday in Akron behind closed doors, trying to build a consensus despite things becoming acrimonious in recent weeks. The union has been without a contract for roughly six months.

Data presented during Akron's Health Equity Summit showed the rate at which black infants died before reaching their first birthdays dropped in 2020, but it also showed that Black people died at a greater rate from diseases including COVID-19; Another strike by 275 teachers at Garfield Heights City Schools is planned if they don't reach an agreement with the school administration; and more stories.
