Portland teacher strike cancels school for some 45,000 students
Fox News
Teachers in Portland, Oregon, began striking Wednesday, with primary points of contention including class sizes and salaries unadjusted for inflation.
"Our kids deserve more than teachers that are absolutely exhausted and at the end of their ropes," said Sarah Trapido, a special education teacher at Kellogg Middle School.
The Portland Association of Teachers, which represents more than 4,000 educators, said it was the first-ever teachers strike in the school district. The union has been bargaining with the district for months for a new contract after its previous one expired in June.
