American Teachers Don't Know How to Strike

AuthorJustin Bathon on DateSunday, April 27, 2008 at 7:31PM

When teachers strike in other countries ... they really strike.

The latest, a nationwide teachers strike in the UK. 9,000 schools closed in whole or part affecting nearly 3 million kids.

BBC News Video. More: (1) Union answers questions (2) Government Response.

Guardian Story. More.

Times of London.

I am not saying American Teachers need to do the same because of our decentralized system, but this gives a whole different meaning to "bargaining power."
