Seattle teachers union votes to suspend strike after reaching 'tentative agreement' with school district.
The school year was supposed to start on Sept. 7, though classes for some 50,000 students in the district have not been held since then after the Seattle Education Association overwhelmingly voted to authorize a strike the day before. Of the 75% of members who voted, 95% voted in favor of a strike.The union had previously rejected a proposal from the school district to start the school year on time without a contract, which expired last month, amid the negotiations.
Teachers and staff from Jane Addams Middle School in north Seattle picket on what was supposed to be the first day of classes, on Sept. 7, 2022.The union was also pushing for higher set pay raises, in particular for its lower-paid members, including front office staff and instructional assistants.The union said late Monday that it was "excited" to have reached a tentative agreement.
"We should all be proud of what we accomplished and what we stood up for: student supports and respect for educators," the statement continued.
