Teacher Strike

A teacher strike is when educators refuse to work to protest against issues such as low pay, inadequate resources, or poor working conditions. Strikes aim to draw attention to these problems and push for better contracts or policies from school districts or government authorities. During a strike, classes may be canceled, affecting students and families. Teachers seek to negotiate improvements that benefit both their profession and the educational environment for students. Strikes can be an important tool in advocating for fair treatment and ensuring a quality education system.
