Quincy teachers who went out on strike illegally in June 2007 have been ordered by a judge to pay a $100,000 fine.

The settlement amount represents an estimate of what the strike cost the school department, between grievances filed by other school unions – whose members lost workdays – and in things such as wasted food and pay for police officers assigned to watch over picket lines.
