Teachers Rally at Board Meeting As Contract Dispute Escalates (CA)
Berkeley teachers took their increasingly rancorous contract dispute back to the Berkeley Unified School District board meeting Wednesday night, filling the Old City Hall Council chambers with union members and supporters chanting “Fair Contract Now!”

Berkeley Federation of Teachers President Barry Fike .. said that BFT members “of course don’t want to strike, but if you leave us with no other choice we will certainly have to.” <snip>

Berkeley teachers and Berkeley Unified officials are in the midst of state-mediated contract talks, with teachers demanding compensation increases and the district insisting that such increases are not possible without harming educational programs.

The next mediation session is scheduled for April 21. <snip>
