Lakeville School Teachers Approve Strike Authorization

Teachers in Lakeville, Minnesota, have voted to authorize a strike due to stalled negotiations with the school district, with 99% in favor of striking for fair wages and better benefits. They are also opposing the district’s “right of assignment” language that allows unilateral teacher transfers. The union plans a rally before the school board meeting on April 30 and is requesting an earlier mediation session. Filing an intent to strike requires a 10-day notice. The union is urging the district to address their concerns seriously to avoid a strike.
