Teacher strikes

Teacher strikes are organized work stoppages by educators protesting conditions such as salaries, class sizes, resources, or policies. They serve as a way for teachers to voice concerns and advocate for better working and learning conditions. During strikes, teachers don’t conduct classes, which can disrupt students' education but aims to pressure authorities or school districts to negotiate and improve circumstances. Strikes are legally complex and often involve negotiation, with the intention of reaching agreements that benefit both educators and students in the long run.
