Teachers and other CEA union members strike outside of Whetstone High SchoolTeachers and other CEA union walk up and down Henderson Rd., outside of Whetstone High School, on the second day of the strike. The building conditions ALONE are reason to strike. I’m amazed the teachers waited 50 years. I’m for proper teaching conditions, etc. But I do want to point out something that is quite oxymoronic coming out of these teachers mouth. “Safer schools.” Somehow, these same teachers had ZERO ISSUE when Ginther /Dixon REMOVED CPD from schools in the name of George Floyd.
