The Charleston Gazette: Teacher union won’t strike
Members of West Virginia’s second-largest teachers union overwhelmingly voted against striking to protest the Legislature’s 3.5 percent pay increase.
The state American Federation of Teachers polled members earlier this month to see if they wished to strike in May. By a 3-1 margin, they voted no, according to results released Wednesday.
Judy Hale, president of AFT-WV, said there were no counties where a majority favored striking. Most counties voted at least 2-1 against it, she said. The union has about 7,200 members.
