New York City Teachers Accept Mixed Contract After Walkout
New York City's 55 000 striking teachers returned to work amid a disputed contract that saved $25 million by not paying strikers and rehired 2 400 workers. The pact includes a 300 cost of living raise and shortened school weeks with prep periods waived, while the landmark strike faces potential penalties under state law. Albert Shanker criticized the deal as not ideal for teachers or students.
