More Locals Implement Job Actions

More than 80 days after contracts throughout the state expired, 315 districts still have not negotiated new contracts with their teachers.

"Pressure continues to build in districts where boards are not making fair offers," WEAC President Terry Craney said. "Locals are looking at potential actions to show they are frustrated and will stand up for what's right."

Nicolet teachers have begun to "work to contract," and Racine teachers boycotted a recent school open house. Germantown is also initiating action.

An advertisement explaining the current bargaining crisis, in the form of a column by WEAC President Terry Craney, ran in 16 newspapers across Wisconsin.
