teachers' strikes

Teachers’ strikes are collective actions where educators refuse to work, typically to advocate for better pay, improved working conditions, or increased resources for students. These strikes serve as a way to draw attention to issues affecting education quality and to pressure school districts or governments to negotiate and address their concerns. While disruptive, strikes are a form of exercising workers’ rights to collective bargaining and can lead to positive changes when managed appropriately. They highlight the importance of education funding and support, emphasizing teachers’ role in society and their need for fair treatment.
