Pittsburgh Teachers Vote to Strike After Talks Stall
About 800 members of the Pittsburgh Federation of Teachers voted to strike the Pittsburgh Board of Education at 12:01 a.m. January 16. The walkout follows stalled contract talks over terminal leave and hospitalization payments, with union leaders reporting strong support for the action despite rival PTEA opposition. The dispute mirrors last year’s 11 day strike that led to a failed single-rerepreneur bargaining position.
