teacher strikes
Classroom staff protests
Teacher strikes are work stoppages by educators protesting wages, benefits, class sizes, or school funding.
Unlike many labor actions, teacher strikes often draw public sympathy because they highlight underfunded education: The teacher strike shut down schools for two weeks.
Some states prohibit public employee strikes, making teacher walkouts legally risky but sometimes effective.
