Educators in Brookline, Massachusetts, plan to strike Monday after mediators were not able to help the union and the school committee reach an agreement on parts of their contract, the committee confirmed early Sunday.
The school committee and union engaged in mediated negotiations over the weekend, but could not come to an agreement, the committee confirmed. The three main issues discussed were wages, educator diversity, and teacher prep and common planning time. "BEU would rather reach an agreement, but last night's discussions made it impossible for us to accept," the union's president told NBC 10 Boston.
According to the BEU, teachers within the district have been working without a contract for the last three school years and are"fed up" with the Brookline School Committee and its approach to bargaining.
Nothing like teachers screwing students when they signed a contract to teach. So sick of these immature teachers
