Striking teachers defy order halting work in Michigan
Striking teachers press their protest by breaking a state law banning public employee strikes. About one quarter of Michigan students, 550 schools, and over 20,000 teachers are affected. Detroit postponed its 320 schools opening indefinitely as negotiations stall with the Detroit Federation of Teachers. Mary Ellen Riordan urges daily picket line presence to aid bargaining. The Detroit Education Association urges members to honor the lines. Courts expected to be asked to enjoin 1,007 teachers in Saginaw where talks are at a standstill. Saginaw serves 21,760 students and is the largest city outside Detroit affected by the boycott.
