'We Have Reached A Deal': West Virginia Teacher Strike Set To End With Pay Raise : The Two
Jim Justice
Gov. Jim Justice  is expected to quickly sign the deal.
Both  Justice  and the West Virginia Education Association celebrated the agreement even before members of the state's House and Senate convened a conference committee to discuss it.
"I stood rock solid on the 5% Teacher pay raise and delivered. Not only this  but my staff and I made additional cuts which will give all State employees 5% as well  " Justice  tweeted. "All the focus should have always been on fairness and getting the kids back in school."
"WE WON!" the union exclaimed just minutes later in a tweet of its own  and it posted a Facebook video of teachers erupting in cheers in the Capitol. The demonstrators gathered there shouted chants of "Sign it! Sign it!" as  Justice  waded into the crowd.
