Monday evening, March 7, it was announced that Minneapolis teachers and educational support professionals will go on strike Tuesday, and all classes will be canceled. Union leaders announced the walkout Monday evening, saying they have been unable to reach an agreement with Minneapolis Public Schools. They will begin picketing outside schools Tuesday morning.
We hold in prayer Mike Vasich, Tanner VanderKrabben, and Robin Hesser; and from Lyndale: Rebecca Miller, Steven Miller, Kathryn Lee. Rebecca Miller is also a MFT 59 union leader, and has put together the following information about the strike for the SpringHouse community, so we can better understand the overall situation.
