Judge Fines Providence Teachers Union for Contempt
Judge Joseph R. Weisberger fined the Providence Teachers Union 20 000 for criminal contempt and imposed a suspended 100 000 civil sentence on two union leaders for civil contempt after they ignored two back to work orders. He said the union and members showed blatant disregard for court orders and delayed returning to classrooms, while noting the union’s financial strain. The ruling included a restraining order and injunction to end the strike that began November 1, with appeals suggested to the state Supreme Court.
