The voice of Saint Paul's working families since 1897

The St. Paul Federation of Educators’ 3,689 members – teachers, education assistants and school professionals – could go on strike in March.

With a tentative agreement in hand, St. Paul educators urged support for their union siblings in Minneapolis, where 4,000 members of the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers and its chapter of education support professionals began an open-ended strike yesterday.

Union members who voted “yes” said they were hopeful the vote would be a catalyst for movement in negotiations with the district, which began last May and have since entered mediation.

“I don’t think they’ve considered how these changes might push families further away,” Galtier science teacher Peter Ratzloff said.
