Detroit Free Press: Talks between Detroit schools, union fall apart as strike vote looms
With a strike vote looming, negotiations between Detroit Public Schools and its teachers dissolved Friday as both sides filed charges with the state, accusing each other of illegal labor practices.
School district officials filed a charge with the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Growth, complaining that the Detroit Federation of Teachers threatened an illegal strike. The union also filed a charge, alleging the district has failed to provide it timely and accurate budget information.
