The union representing the teachers of the largest school district in Washington state, the, has authorized a strike vote as it bargains for improved working conditions.
The SEA board of directors approved a strike authorization vote Tuesday. Wednesday, the union will have a general membership meeting to discuss, with a strike vote possible over the weekend, according to Jennifer Matter, president of the SEA.“None of us want to strike. But we have a choice. We can go back to school the way things were before, with a lack of student support and widespread educator burnout.
“We are still actively bargaining and hope SPS chooses to come to a tentative agreement. SPS has the power to avert further action—they do this by settling a tentative agreement that meets student needs.” Seattle Public Schools’ 50,000 students are scheduled to resume classes Sept. 7, except for kindergarten and preschool, grades which usually start Sept. 12.
