Maryland teachers press right to strike at state convention
The Maryland General Assembly will be asked next year to grant public school teachers the right to strike. The Maryland state Teachers Association adopted a no contract no work resolution at its 102nd annual convention, seeking legislation to allow withholding services when no valid contract exists or a group contract is violated. The group also urged Gov. Mandel to increase Negro representation on local school boards, noting 11 counties have no Black members. Some members pushed to withdraw U.S. troops from Vietnam, but that motion was tabled.
