Updated: Pinckneyville teachers' union declares intent to strike; district says teacher salaries are 'high enough'

CAT Tracks Editor's Note:

If you read the accompanying story, PEEA offer to district, posted November 2016, you saw that the District is being represented by Shane Jones in their negotiations. Shane is the same attorney retained by Cairo School District Number One.

May the two sides find an acceptable compromise.

From personal experience (five 'work stoppages' in the history of CSD #1), strikes are certainly not fun and should be avoided if at all possible.

...sometimes a union's gotta do what a union's gotta do.
