Teachers ordered back to work in Michigan district

The Detroit News: Teachers ordered back to work

Judge tells Wayne-Westland officials not to discipline strikers; classes scheduled to resume this morning.

WESTLAND — Wayne-Westland students are scheduled to return to class this morning following a judge’s ruling Thursday ordering teachers back to work after a four-day strike.

It was unclear whether the ruling by Wayne County Circuit Judge Kathleen Macdonald, who also ordered the district not to discipline teachers for the strike, would restore peace in the 13,300-student district. With no contract, teachers continued to picket outside some schools Thursday afternoon after the ruling, and later angry parents demonstrated outside district headquarters in support of the teachers.
