Alameda Times-Star: Teachers’ union sets stage for talks

The union representing city teachers will hold another rally this week as it prepares for an end-of-the-month membership meeting in which a strike vote could take place.
As the standoff between teachers and the state-run school district enters its fifth week, the teachers’ union wants to bring new attention to the debate about a contract it says should include a raise and continued district support of health benefits.
