Another local teachers union is demanding the Massachusetts Teachers Association rescind an "inflammatory" resolution calling for a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war.
The teachers voted overwhelmingly for strike action, set to begin January 30. The Commonwealth Employment Relations Board has issued a ruling mandating that the teachers union cease strike-related activities and resume negotiations or face fines.
Today marks Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and there are plenty of news, stories and events to honor the civil rights and nonviolent resistance leader’s legacy.
The Melrose teacher’s union reached a tentative agreement with the city’s school committee on Saturday just days before the teachers’ planned strike on.
