WCBS-TV: NYC Catholic Teachers: Strike Likely Next Week
Stalled Contract Talks Leads Union To Strike During Papal Visit
NEW YORK (AP) ― The dispute boils down to just $19,000, but it is likely to spur a teachers’ strike at several Roman Catholic schools days before Pope Benedict XVI’s upcoming visit to the city, a union official said.
Lay Faculty Association spokesman Henry Kielkucki said Friday that teachers would likely walk off their jobs at 10 Catholic high schools on Monday or Tuesday in a contact fight with the Archdiocese of New York. He said a decision will be made Sunday.
