Teachers Unions

Teachers in both Woodburn and Silver Falls have voted to authorize strikes after months of bargaining with their respective school districts.

Teachers in the Woodburn School District are one step closer to a potential strike after months of bargaining with no new contract in sight.

Contract negotiations are set to continue Friday between teachers and the school district in Battle Ground, Washington.

At a hearing Wednesday, a Cowlitz County, Washington, judge did not find Kelso teachers in violation of an earlier court order.  

Kelso teachers voted over the weekend to remain on the picket line until they reach an agreement with the school district.
