New Haven teachers keep striking while students keep away from classes
The New Haven teachers strike is entering into its fourth day, with summer break just around the corner. Students have not been attending school, due to classes being conducted by substitutes and administrators. On Tuesday, it is estimated that only 15 percent of the district’s students attended class, due to the strike. Some students have joined their teachers, out on the picket lines. Teachers are striking for a 10 percent wage increase- the union has stated that it is ready to bargain when management is ready to make a desirable offer.
