Strike begins in Lake-Lehman School District, Luzerne County

http://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2007/10/15/10035appteachersstrike.html

LEHMAN, Pa. (AP) — Teachers in the Lake-Lehman School District in Luzerne County are on strike, and classes are canceled. Only sports and band activities will continue.

It is the the second teachers strike in the district in 2007. The teachers also walked off the job for four days in May.

The teachers have been without a contract since August 2006. Their union said on Oct. 1 that the members would strike on Oct. 15, if there were no new contract.

The school board presented what it called its best offer on Oct. 8. The union turned it down.

Wages and health care insurance are major issues.
