All Eyes on Toledo Teachers across Ohio are paying close attention to the worsening situation in Toledo. The Toledo Board and Administration seem intent on forcing the teachers to strike. The ten-day notice has already been given with the strike looming for Monday, March 16.
Negotiations continue but there appears to be little optimism.
OEA and AFT, in unison, have called upon teachers in a six-state area to help our colleagues in Toledo. The states include Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Pennsylvania and New York. Members should warn substitutes that they should not be tempted by the higher sub pay being offered in Toledo. The names of people who cross picket lines are never forgotten. It is even worse when people come in from other states.
