Mail Tribune: Rogue River teachers vote to support strike
Wearing orange buttons with black ribbons and a message stating “We Are United,” the district’s teachers on Thursday voted unanimously to support a strike.
“We had a 60-to-1 vote to approve the strike,” said high school teacher and negotiations chairman Joe Burns. “And the one person who didn’t vote ‘yes,’ said he’d definitely support the strike. We are unanimous.”
The teachers have been working without an approved 2005-2007 contract since July 2005. After seven months of failed negotiation attempts, the teachers said they were losing hope of finding a resolution to the contract dispute before the pending strike date of April 12.
