Seattle teachers will hold an organizing event this afternoon in Seattle as they get ready for the final days of bargaining in hopes of striking a deal with the school district on a new contract.
The Labor Day event actually precedes a rally that’s supposed to happen Tuesday afternoon. If a strike is going to happen that keeps children out of school, it would hit on Sept. 7.
Teachers rejected an effort by the Seattle Public Schools to try to cut a side deal essentially that would avert a work stoppage on the first day and guarantee that students could be in class. The memorandum of understanding would have kept teachers and staff working under the old contract but Matter said the option was rejected.
The district’s online statement also said that it urged the SEA to not strike and that if it agreed to work under the old contract to ensure the first day of school is not delayed, then any agreed-upon salary increases from collective bargaining would actually be applied retroactively to Sept. 1, 2022.
